Plot:
Stuck in a Christmas Day repeat, moving on to the next year’s Christmas at the end of each Christmas day (with no knowledge of the events on the 364 days in between), Jorge, who’s birthday is also on 25th December, starts to learn about what’s important in life.
Review:
Think a mash up of Groundhog Day, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Christmas Carol and place it in Brazil, and this is this movie.
It is a bit like it’s trying too hard to be like Lampoons Christmas Vacation but generally its ok.
What I would say is that, like watching Squid Games dubbed, you may get more out of the movie if you watch it in Portuguese with the subtitles. Rather than what I did with the English dubbing and get distracted by the lip synchronisation.
Having a birthday near Christmas myself I feel the sentiment of the main character, and the voiceover at the beginning of none of your friends coming to your birthday party as they are all away, it rang very true. But I keep the spirit of Christmas unlike Jorge!
This is a nice movie, better than I thought. With lots of Christmas sentiment; be grateful for what you have, spend time with the ones you love etc.
I would say give it a watch. But it might not be a repeater movie, unlike Jorge’s Christmas days.
