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.
