Cabras da Peste

What is your take on silly? Because this is as silly as things get! Also if you are fluent in portuguese it might come in handy. Getting all the jokes first hand, rather than translated either by dub or subtitles ... surely that is fine too, but maybe not for everyone. Same goes for the comedy - some will like it, some others will not at all.

They say do not work with animals and children, but when you have a goat in the title .. you have to have him/her in the movie sometime ... that aside, this is more of buddy comedy thing, with fallouts and all the other cliches and predictable things that come along with that. Still this is enjoyable if you let it be.

If you're not from Brazil you may not understand the jokes presented in the movie. A lot of the scenes are based on Hollywood clichês (specially B. Hills Cop) and the comments we usually make on them. And most of the time the jokes are based on Brazilian internal jokes and stereotypes only we are aware of. It's even complicated to explain them. I can understand people who don't like it. But as a Brazilian I like it a lot.

A crazy Brazilian comedy, half parody, half buddy movie, full of references from American films.

A bit heavy for my taste but can be seen without the fuss.

A crazy adventure comedy with touches of Brazilian action. It is about a policeman who in punishment for his performance is given to take care of a goat, unleashing an adventure. Silly. With situation jokes, some organic and many forced, flatulence and sarcasm. Entertaining. Quality. The special effects are lousy, highly computerized and the action stunts in the same vein. Disconnect your brain to see it. With inconsistencies but that are consistent with the type of film. Silly humor throughout the movie. Ideal for Sunday.

During these times of despair a movie like this one is what we all need. Humor that doesn't offend anybody and is light for a movie night with the family. We laughed through out the movie and enjoyed the many subtle jokes and Easter eggs that the filmmakers and the actors delivered so nicely! Fully recommend!
