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.

A Brighter Tomorrow
Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti (winner of the Palme d'Or in 2001 for The Son's Room) returns with what has been called his 8½, for obvious reasons. A Brighter Tomorrow is the story of a filmmaker struggling to shoot a movie about the Hungarian Revolution, while trying to save his marriage to his producer wife. The film satirizes the current state of cinema, and perhaps indulges a bit too much in its nostalgia. It is far from the best that veteran Moretti has to offer, but if you've enjoyed his previous films, you will undoubtedly enjoy this one.
City Hunter
'City Hunter' - An exceptional marksman and hopeless playboy, private eye Ryo Saeba reluctantly forms an alliance with his late partner’s sister to investigate his death.
Club Zero
Miss Novak joins the staff of an international boarding school to teach a conscious eating class and forms a strong bond with five students that eventually takes a dangerous turn.
Aumenta que é Rock’n’Roll
The film tells the story of Luiz Antônio, a clumsy radio presenter who, unexpectedly, finds himself in charge of a bankrupt and falling apart radio station. Relying only on his passion for rock’n’roll and a crazy team, he created one of the most emblematic radio stations in the history of Brazilian rock, Fluminense FM. Between guitar solos and signal interference, we follow the adventures and misadventures of Luiz who, on top of that, falls in love with a married announcer.
