Why watch this film?
Pearl (Fabiana Karla) lives with her mother (Jandira Martini) in pursuit of a dream. Despite working at the parties that the family business organizes, she dreams of pursuing a career in gastronomy. But things are not easy: she was fired from the restaurant where she worked and now it seems that the only way out is to be the popular and clumsy assistant of a famous and renowned chef on a cooking show on TV. This is the plot of "A Pitada de Sorte". With the face and style of Brazilian comedies, although without any exaggeration on the part of the direction, the feature film reflects on dreams and life goals, with Karla assuming responsibly this so down-to-earth protagonist. Highlight also for Jandira Martini ("O Clone"), making a version of Policarpo Quaresma.

Um Tio Quase Perfeito 2
The 2017 movie sequel starring Marcus Majella, who was one of the names that won over audiences after the success of 'Vai Que Cola' - which spawned two feature films in addition to the TV series. 'Um Tio Quase Perfeito 2' brings the same good humor and simple yet captivating screenplay from the first movie. The characters gain more layers, as it is a sequel, and better development. The production was just right to attract and entertain those who enjoy movies like 'Minha Mãe é Uma Peça', 'Até Que a Sorte Nos Separe' and 'Um Suburbano Sortudo'.

Get the Grift
National comedy that should please fans of productions like 'Until Luck Do Us Part' and 'A Lucky Suburban', the feature film 'The Salafrários' is one of those simple productions, but with humor and creativity above average. After all, director Pedro Antônio ('A Almost Perfect Uncle 2') hits the mark by bringing Marcus Majella and Samantha Schmütz into the story of two brothers who get involved in a series of scams and, when discovered, have to come together again. It doesn't bring anything new, unlike 'Carlinhos and Carlão', for example, but it presents the expected humor to those who like to have fun with national jokes.

Tô Ryca 2
In the first movie, Selminha (Samantha Schmütz) discovers she is rich overnight, without even trying. Her life changes drastically: she leaves the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro and moves into a mansion, with all the typical confusion of someone changing their life. Now, in the second chapter of Schmütz's story, the protagonist loses everything when an identical lookalike appears claiming to be the true owner of the fortune. From there, 'Tô Ryca 2' follows the traditional path of Brazilian comedies, with ups and downs, clichés about poor people, and jokes about life in the suburbs - with exaggerations. There are some really well-fitted jokes (like the English interview in a bakery or the boss wanting to give plastic forks) and the movie, in general, should please those already accustomed to the stories told in Brazilian comedies.

Christmas Full of Grace
Typical Brazilian comedy, but with all the Christmas filter, 'A Christmas Full of Grace' tells the story of Carlinhos, a young man who discovers he is being cheated on Christmas Eve and, desperate, calls the lively Grace to pretend to be his partner during the dinner of the date and thus not disappoint his family. Despite all the backstage controversies, with reports of the protagonist Gkay causing problems on set, the movie manages to entertain and bring the Christmas essence - with an ending that everyone knows only by reading the synopsis.

![Outsider Girls](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/cRSp4H/thumb/outsider-girls_gfUGunI.jpeg)
Outsider Girls
Outsider Girls (original Spanish title: Las demás) is the feature film debut of Chilean filmmaker Alexandra Hyland as both director and screenwriter, and its art direction, music, editing, and staging, as well as its context and themes, embody a spirit that can only be described as "punk." The plot follows two best friends from university, whose lives are turned upside down when one of them becomes pregnant. Together, they embark on a quest to obtain an abortion in a country where it is still illegal. This is a great comedy that, in a carefree tone, without prejudice but also without concessions, highlights the hypocrisies of social, cultural, and political life in Chile, echoing experiences in other regions of Latin America.
![Problemista](https://media.filmelier.com/tit/mc4yPG/thumb/problemista_fqYJkEg.jpeg)
Problemista
Directed, written, and starred by Salvadoran comedian Julio Torres (Los Espookys), Problemista is a comedy that presents an absurd premise and doesn't worry about its credibility, and instead embraces its ridiculousness and runs with it. Set in an unspecified time in New York, Álex (Torres) aspires to be a toy inventor at Hasbro, with ideas as absurd as Barbies with crossed fingers or Cabbage Patch dolls with cellphones. To make ends meet, he works at a cryogenization clinic that freezes patients to wake up in the future (although there's no certainty that such technology will exist). When he is fired, he takes a job as an assistant to the neurotic Elizabeth (Tilda Swinton at her finest), who harbors the unreal idea of curating an exhibition of her artist husband's paintings, one of the frozen patients. With a production design that indulges in camp (closer to Roger Waters than to Pedro Almodóvar), using cheap costumes and ridiculous digital special effects, Torres builds a surreal and amusing atmosphere that satirizes the twisted difficulties of living in the United States (especially for Latin immigrants), the banal and stupid egocentrism of the cultural elites, and the absurdity of corporatism. Its eccentricity may repel some, but if you approach it on these terms, you'll leave the cinema having seen something truly unique.
