My Mom is a Character 3
In 'My Mom is a Character 3: The Movie', fans of Paulo Gustavo won't find anything different when comparing the movie to the other productions of the actor. The humor remains histrionic, the situations are exaggerated and the emotion arises in the least expected moments. And that's what, in the end, makes the movie so funny. Without taking itself seriously, 'My Mom is a Character 3' expands Dona Hermínia's journey and gives a pleasant lightness, perfect for watching with popcorn and soda. Those who laughed with the other two films in the franchise, or with 'My Life on Mars', will find space to have fun and forget their problems.
