Esposa de Aluguel

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.

Certainly not the most creative romantic comedy, but it's quite heart warming and a good entertainment.

It's particularly interesting if you happen to know the actors from other works.

Do not expect to see something that's is not cliché, but love is all about it anyway.

A good point also is to see some movies out of the main circuit of production, coming from a different country gaining some recognition, too.

It balances the love story with the comedy in a nice way, too. There are some really good jokes that come out of nowhere that gets you unexpectedly.

I do recommend if you are in a Netflix date, or just relaxing on a Sunday night.

The romantic comedy (Brazil) has a very predictable story line - the rich bachelor that never gets romantically involved with woman for more than 3 months, and his dying mother wants him to get married before she dies in 6 months. He hires an actress to pose as his girlfriend/fiance but he develops real love feelings for her - while still in a relationship with another girl. The only thing is that there is one twist in the story which is kind of surprising, but not shocking, therefore still predictable because they had to have some kind of a twist to shake things up a little bit. The actual ending was predictable as well.

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.
