Balas & Bolinhos: O Último Capítulo

The best Portuguese comedy i ever seen. Congratulations to the crew. This is a path that many Portuguese filmmakers should follow. A great adventure, well filmed, great photography and with a superior acting compared to any other Portuguese movies ever made. sooo sooo funny. My favorite character is "Rato" He's just one of a kind. The film is full of cursing so, an advice would be: don't bring your younger kids to watch it. In my opinion some scenes are comparable to top movies. Simple fx but the necessary to achieve great plans for the scenes. The fist movies, Balas e bolinhos I e II are very funny too, but the image quality and resources were extremely low compared to this one. (Still funny as hell) just watch, i love it. 5****** note: Please make another one. plzzzzz! :)

In spite of this third chapter of the series (I guess we can call it a series yet!) is called "the last chapter" I hope this won't be in fact the last one. First because it's getting better from movie to movie, second because it's also getting more audiences and third because it makes you laugh as just a few can do here in Portugal, and I'm not talking just about cinema...

The humor is crude and always based in foul and slang language but it's funny as hell and it's well done. The characters are now (by this third chapter) more connected and we know them better, what makes you understand better their attitudes and laugh with their silly actions. Especially RATO and BINO are priceless! The first one by what he says, the second one by what he does...

The production is very good especially if we take in consideration it is a low cost Portuguese film (even so we note it must have been much more expensive than the previous two, as it has better special effects) and even the action scenes are not bad.

We can say it's a action/comedy movie as we don't often use to see in Portuguese cinema!

Best movie I watched in a real long time. I laughed really hard from the beginning to the end! Although it uses foul language, it is really fun to watch. Funny jokes and situations. The movie is the best of 3. Much improved production. Invited actors are great. Best movie I watched in a real long time. I laughed really hard from the beginning to the end!

Well this is the end of the trilogy, but make no mistake, it is by far the best of the three. In fact it is the first one that can be called a real movie. Editing wise it exceeded what I was expecting. They really put a lot of work into the movie. The story itself is quite silly but if you have seen the previous movies you know the story is the least important. For a sometimes crude and abusive dialog you find comedy pearls which I loved. Also expect car chases and karate scenes. There are plenty of familiar faces cameos with a note for Meneses for his funny stuff. But the show stealer is Rato, the hilarious guy dumb as a rock. I laughed hard at the pi** in the desert part!

Bottom line it was not perfect but it really made us laugh and that worths the ticket itself... Go see it now! Revive Portuguese cinema!

Let's be serious for a moment.

This is not a real movie or a real trilogy. Hell, these are not even real actors. The 1st "movie" of the trilogy was an amateur work closer from a joke between friends than a real project.

The only reason a give it 6 stars and not 0 is because many Portuguese people are fans of this absolutely unpretentious kind of cinema. A group of friends acting ridiculously, swearing even more than real country people would and exaggerating all the clichés that you can think of about low life Portuguese's.

If you are Portuguese and watch this movie just to have fun and laugh about how ridiculous this thing is, you can actually have a good time. If you hope to see a real movie, one with a plot, actors and some degree of professionalism, you'll be shocked and leave the theater 10 minutes in the story.

I will repeat once again. This is not a real movie. This started has an amateur comical work that found success among some parts of Portuguese society because of how ridiculous and dumb everything in it is. The difference between part 1 and part 2 just resides in better editing (in a decade, everyone seems now able to edit) better cinematography and the inclusion of some popular comedians that, if you're not Portuguese, will never know or even understand the style.

As i said, 6 over 10 stars because of the unpretentious way that these guys created this trilogy.
