FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.
Claudio Carvalho In Rio de Janeiro, the thirty-four years old graphic designer Laura (Giovanna Antonelli) is trying to find a perfect boyfriend and get married to have children. Laura has three great girlfriends, and they meet in their vacant time for talking, gossips and looking for men in bars. Laura decides to go to the blind date agency 'Honeymoon', where she meets and dates Miguel (Caco Ciocler), a funny Arab descendant merchant but having a different level of education. Meanwhile, in the firm where she works, the new employee Thiago (Reynaldo Gianecchini) is having affairs with all the women of the office and is sexually arresting her. 'Avassaladoras' is a shallow, silly and fake tropical version of 'Sex & the City', showing four women of thirty and something years in Rio de Janeiro in the same situations of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda in New York. The film is totally stereotyped and full of clichés: everybody is beautiful, has futile concerns with life and lives in wonderful houses and apartments with landscapes of tourist areas of Rio de Janeiro. This movie seems to be a version of the Brazilian useless magazine 'Caras', specialized in housing and gossips of the rich and famous persons, on screen. The worth parts of 'Avassaladoras' are those where the characters of Laura's grandmother and Miguel participate. The beauty of Giovanna Antonelli is also very special and great to be seen. The performance of the ham 'actor' Reynaldo Gianecchini is simply ridiculous. In the excellent present moment of the Brazilian cinema industry, this movie is a shame. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): 'Avassaladoras' ('Overwhelming Women')
Richard Cory Well, well. Brazilian movie industry is in full swing again. But it still does some piece of crap. And I can tell you that this movie is an example. This is a 'soap opera-like' movie. Silly plot, corny jokes, a great deal of cliché. And that's it. The movie tries to be funny, but, of course, it isn't. It tries to be philosophical, and it fails again. If there's something worth seeing in this movie, it is Caco Ciocler (tha Arabian guy) which performs a delighting role. He is, that's for sure, one of the most talented actors in Brazilian's new generation. That's it, a silly movie deserves a short and shallow comment. If you like good movies, don't waste your time watching this. And don't think this is a typical Brazilian film. We've got better things. You bet.
