Totally Amateurish and With Very Few Good Moments

In São Paulo, a group of low middle class teenager friends spend most of the time together, trying to reach their dreams. One of them is an aspirant of actor, who has a girlfriend since they were kids, and meets and has a crush on a beautiful girl with a past in a beauty contest. His brother has a minor workshop and huge debts with some bad guys. Another one is a trainee on journalism, who gets obsessed in pornography. Another one is a revolutionary, the other one wants to be a model etc. This film is totally amateurish, and has few good moments. However, it uses too much low level jokes and scenes with excrement, sex and bad languages, trying to be attractive maybe to young viewers. The result does not work well, and it recalls the crap "Jacksass" and the mentor Johnny Knoxville. My vote is three.

Title (Brazil): "De Cara Limpa" ("With a "Clean" Face")

Portuguese-language cinema, spanning Portugal, Brazil, and other Lusophone regions, focuses on history, cultural identity, and the struggles of ordinary people, often framed with poetic or allegorical storytelling. In Portugal, cinema has emphasized meditative pacing and philosophical depth, reflecting on memory and tradition. In Brazil, it has often been politically charged and socially vibrant, highlighting inequality and resilience while experimenting with popular and avant-garde forms.
