An unapologetically silly Brazilian comedy follows a disgraced ex-footballer who discovers his unwanted-houseguest brother-in-law is an acolyte of Count Dracula. There are several clever insights about extended family dynamics but overall this movie doesn't seem to want to be taken seriously as an extended comedic metaphor or anything else. It apparently just wants to be a dumb fun diversion, and it generally succeeds. The main character's constant overacting and mugging for the camera can be grating. Otherwise this is an enjoyably goofy midtier comedy in the mold of The 'Burbs and Little Evil.

Everything worked perfectly but the boring, godawful male lead. He was bad at acting by over acting. Spoiling every joke and every scene. Terrible. With a different lead this could work 7/10. That guy should be working as a plumber somewhere in a place nobody cares to know. Zero talent. Zero charisma. No good looks. I dont know how the duck he made it i the movie. Everything wrong with the film begins and ends with him.
It's a pity really.
Netflix plz think twice before letting him spoil another decent comedy.
Probably successful...
...at being really really stupid. That's the only reason I gave it a generous 5 stars - because what if it were supposed to be as awful as it is. If I never see another movie or television show with that awful lead actor in it - Leandro Hassum - it will be too soon. Even though the director of this stink bomb probably encouraged everybody to over act, Leandro went way way beyond that. Jerry Lewis would have been embarrassed for him. Maybe I'm being unfair. Maybe this movie was targeted to a 10-13 year old demographic. How insulting would that be to10-13 year olds? Assuming this crap would be all that their prepubescent minds could digest or find entertaining. No, this movie is a disappointment on so many levels. I would only hope that my kids thought so also.
