False, deeply stupid and even offensive review (xenophobic jokes!!???). The movie is almost exactly de opposite of Mr J.Ivo wrote. It's an unpretentious and light but honest movie . A remake of a movie that portrays the society and the current culture of Lisbon, with the differences of the 73 years between the two versions of the movie . Being Portuguese i understand and liked what i saw . As simple as that. The only thing to criticize is the character " Evaristo " . I think it is not well done . It is watched that clings to the character of the previous version represented by Antonio Silva and it does not work well . Doesn't work well, because Antonio Silva was incomparable and mimics it was a mistake. Perhaps another actor and another way of representing Evaristo . Maybe it was a role for Jose Pedro Gomes, an excellent, talented and intelligent actor with years of experience in the comedy.
