Opération Portugal

I am Portuguese and I live in Portugal. I love my culture and I love my dear fellow Portuguese emmigrants. I couldn't care less about this cancel culture or the woke movement. I'm African, Jewish, Celtish, Scandinavian, Luso, Iberian, Roman, Arab, Greek, Chinese... I'm Portuguese, and I'm a mixture of all these cultures and thousands more and I'm sick of this cynical inquisition where comedy is censored, sick of these inquisitors which only see bad things everywhere, stereotypes, racism, hate, who generate the real gaps between different cultures.

This movie does not have outdated racist stereotypes... it simply shows some of our traces, perhaps some of the most evident and obvious. Yes, we work hard, yes we love bacalhau, yes we love Ronaldo and are obsessed with football, yes we love to sing our hymn, yes we love our familly, yes we go to the church, yes we love barbecues and love chouriço, morcela, queijo, salpicão, presunto, yes we hide our money in bags, closets, below our bed, yes we love to dance Pimba music and hear Fado, yes we love to sing "Portugal Olé!" And yes, we love to make fun of ourselves and criticize everything.

The purpose of this movie is exactly the opposite of what is said in the past 2 reviews: it's to show that Portuguese have very big hearts and souls and that different cultures and religions don't necessarily have to clash. The undercover police went to this voyage of discovering how amazing our culture is, giving the insight to the French that we as emigrants are not some kind of weird species. At the end we all got together by the force of friendship and humour, Arabs, Portuguese, French.

Grow up and thumbs up to this light comedy, I certainly did enjoy it.
