You may expect every single shallow acritical conventional wisdom idea about politics (all politicians are corrupt, the solution is that the good enter politics, the ministry may be chosen by the president or vice president without any relation to the relative force of political parties, institutional engineering a.k.a. A generic "political reform" will lead to solve most problems, and so forth) in this silly film. It also brings the recurrent prejudices and mockery against LGBTQIA+ (and also against many other minority groups in the character Dercizinha da Loló) and gags which lay between tepid and infamously unfunny. As it aims to be a parody on Brazilian politics, just like the movie from four years before it is a sequel of, there are further serious problems I shall address. Just like the other film from the franchise, leading character is obviously inspired in the opponents' biased and derogatory narrative on Lula, although, in this sequel, he also faced some problems Dilma Rousseff had when was a president. In the beginning of the movie, this fact led the movie to implicitly support Lava Jato lawfare and its illegal political persecution. Even though the impeachment process is potrayed as lacking its legal basis, just like actaully happened in 2016 coup in Brazil, the movie's speech is the same feeble and irresponsible conclusion that is often repeated until nowadays: there was no coup, it is democracy. On the other hand, there are also some adequate satire references, to Bolsonaro, Temer (OK... this part is funny, I must admit), Marina Silva and Dilma Rousseff (Mila Ribeiro was able to emulate perfectly president's voice, as she already played that role in a humor show on stage for at least four years). To resume, people may expect this to be just one more low quality cheap comedy, but it is more serious than that, as it contributes for lack of criticism and political knowledge of Brazilian citizens, who are consequently vulnerable to the next demagogic rascal and the big economic interests he represents. By the way, Hassum's homage to Chaplin's The Great Dictator could have been nice... if he were not Hassum. By the Way II: what was the miracle that turned possible that a defeated candidate to the presidency had been elected as member of parliament in a simultaneous election? By the way 3: Even considering all the flaws in the present movie, I shall highlight that the previous movie of the franchise was much worse!

Film that adds a tone of humor in the political situation of Brazil
jackcrazycp16 May 2019
Warning: Spoilers
The film is very good, since it adds humor to Brazil's situation in 2018. It follows the pattern of the candidates, as the winner of the presidential elections, Jair Bolsonaro, is portrayed in the film with an extra tone of comedy.
