Crescer Não é Brincadeira

It's absolutely a coming of age film filled with some complex people and some complex, delightfully quirky people.

The kids are good actors and it's fun to see them grow.

It's a but wacky at times, but that seems to be part of its charm. And the aunt is the best odd duck character I've had the pleasure of seeing in ages! The whole film is worth it just the watch her.

This is a family friendly movie - and the English dubbing excellent. Enjoy!!

At first you think a lot of the characters are obnoxious. The main character is spoiled, and the Auntie pushes him too hard too fast during a difficult time. Even one of the characters uses the phrase burning the candle at both ends, but it's not addressed further than that. Which is a tiny bit problematic for me, even though he does gain more independence.

But it's a coming of age story where most of the characters do grow as people along the way. They become a lot more likable too. Not just the main character.

It's not the best coming of age story I've seen with similar themes, but I think it's got some pretty good moments in there that make it worth watching. I don't really see it as a comedy as listed, but it has some pretty nice light moments. I really liked how it covered the different types of lies people tell.

Overall worth a watch I think.

This film is a BLAST. I am 1 day after watching the first public premiere, and film should not be underrated. Films like this don't come around often, so this is a must-watch if you like fun family films.

Honestly, I am not enough of a film-buff to know if it was the directing that transformed a good idea into a painful watch, or was that done at the story-boarding/scene definition stage. Perhaps a combination of them both. Anyway, either way, I have to be honest and say I could not take it any more past 16 minutes.

This movie is perfect for people who want coming of age movies and feel good comedies, the story is again typical but still keeps it's charm.

Overall it is in fact truly a worth to watch movie .
