Just Short of Perfect

I really liked it, I love Leandro Hassum and Juliana Paes, but the lack of a real short person is really explicit not that it was horrible but if it had been a real short person it would have been 100% and I would have given 10, and beyond but these jokes in the movie are boring, boring and even dull, but I would say you can watch it if you don't have high expectations or if it's a movie for you to watch on Sunday after lunch.

I loved this movie. Juliana Paes is amazing, tremendous actress. Looks like a young Sophia Loren. Truly refreshing We saw this movie twice. Second time at Thanksgiving with a lot of people from different countries. Everybody enjoyed.

Obviously better if you understand Portuguese and Brazilian cultural sayings. Everyone laughed out loud Leandro Hussam is also funny. The script absurd but entertaining. Have to understand the double meaning of sentences, for example the reference to Xuxa. I recommend this movie. No crime, no shootings, no blood, no violence. Adding all stereotypes on the table. In summary very enjoyable.

Speaking as a short male, i was quickly disappointed, having not known too much about the cast prior to watching this film, when i noticed that a lot of the scenes seemed off with their perspectives. I paused the film, and quickly did some searching and came to realize that the actor in the lead role, was of a relatively normal size... not saying anything bad about his acting, he did bring a charismatic flair to the role... however, this isn't Jerry Lewis in the 1950s churning out another kooky offering... they could have cast a perfectly suitable short male actor in this role... and perhaps delved a bit more into the more trying aspects of being short, instead of switching the gears and hamming it up as short person shenanigans...

Very cute RomCom. Would love to see this remade in America starring Peter Dinklage and Ally Michalka. Doesn't bother me that they used a regular size person; perhaps in Brazil thay don't have many dwarf actors to choose from. Was the leading lady divorced in real life? It's called ACTING. Leads and supporting casts were all very likeable and movie addressed a social stigma usually ignored: women are supposed to be shorter than their mates. Lastly, it is NOT racist! Enjoyable feel good movie!

Liked the most of the movie even if I needed to see the dubbed version.

But I think it was rude to just forget the gay wedding. I guess when straight love happens it's ok to just drop a gay wedding, even in the middle of the ceremony....
