Lina, actriz para todo

Thati Lopes S2, it's a shame that these comedies, not so romantic, are so silly and almost boring, I'm boring and have no patience, the references are excellent, I love them, but it's not enough to hold the film from halfway through I I was dying to finish, lack of perspective on something surprising, after all, most are predictable and the jokes don't differ much from slapstick comedies, which I don't really like... Regular to very boring, despite Thati and the cute Twist plot. ..

Luiz (Caio Castro) is not a man who believes in love, which is why he strictly follows a rule that he should not go beyond "dating" for three months. However, he still lives with his mother, who begs him to get married and leave her house. One day, she faints and it is discovered that she only has six months to live. As a last request, she asks her son to get married so that she can feel fulfilled. Not wanting a real commitment, he gives in to his mother's requests and hires a surrogate wife. Lina (Thati Lopes) is an actress who lives off the work of being "rented" by other people, playing the desired role, a wife, a lover or a friend. The two then agree to a fake relationship for six months. But everything can change and the fake couple can actually give in to their feelings.

Recent release in Netflix and just watched. A Brazilian romcom with relatively simple story but with interesting plot.

In short a 30+ aged bachelor who uses a time schedule with female relationships and ending them in due time eg 3 months before love starts etc recruits a rather unsuccessful standup comedian but nearly pro level actress to play the role of fiance before his mother dies

What will happen after?

Quite simple story but .. first with lots of humor without being too comedic ND predictable END. This movie has a few specialties as with Lina his mother and his aggressive sister if not also mentioning his current girlfriend who destroys everything.

The story also shows some interesting character development for Luis with his interest in cooking, promoting him via her job as standby comedian.

I really enjoyed this movie giving it a 7/10 for the total result. The moral is apparent as subtext -the meaning below the story.

The movie is a very good Romcom, I don't understand how it has 5 stars here on imdb. I saw some people complaining that the English dubbing is bad and I can't say anything about it, since I watched it in Portuguese. But I recommend everyone to watch it.

Besides that it seemed very inspired by Rent a Girlfriend and what made me think about it the most is the fact that the rental wife also wants to be an actress.

The film talks about Luís, who hires an actress to pretend to be his fiancée to please his mother and not be taken out of the will.

This film was starred by great actors, such as Caio Castro (Why do you cry Caio Castro? LMAO) and by other very famous actors.

If this is the best romantic leads that Brazil can cast ... yikes! Not only were neither lead actors at all attractive, the acting was so atrociously over the top, it was unwatchable. The ML was certainly better, though still dull, but the FL was the worst actress I've ever seen, and so unattractive it was hard to believe anyone would chase her. She was manic, pulled distracting faces, and just generally charmless (tho manic charming pixie girl was likely what they were trying to achieve). She must be a nepobaby or casting was drunk that day. That's nothing to say for the fat jokes for the one sister, like seriously, when was this produced? Had to turn off.

It's "someone borrowed" on netflix, and "esposa de aluguel" (rented wife, in portuguese). It's dubbed in english on netflix, since it's coming from brazil. Luiz has his own set of rules to keep things from getting too serious with the ladies. But when mom finds out she has a serious illness, everything changes. Now luiz needs to find a wife pronto, or he's going to be cut out of the will! So he hires a girl he had dated way back to play his girlfriend. We know it's all going to blow up at some point. Because it always does! It works for a while, but luiz has so many exes, he can't seem to go anywhere without bumping into them. And why is he going out on dates, if he's supposed to be engaged? So predictable. And some of the voices doing the english dubbing are just waaaay over-acting.... was quite distracting. So i finally turned off the sound and used the english subtitles. Directed by chris d'amato. Has done a mix of television and film. I hope they have a bigger budget for the english dubbing on future projects. I usually enjoy seeing films from other countries, but this one doesn't have much new that we hadn't seen before. Part of the plot is similar to a 2004 episode of will and grace. It's okay.
