Synopsis: A housewife manages the finances of her numerous family in a rather original and creative way. Her husband, a crop-dusting pilot, is unaware of her illegalities, but the priest to whom she confesses is rather worried.
Appraisal: Silly comedy that is not too unpleasant to watch, but whose critique of capitalism and consumerism is rather bland. The main character's deadpan attitude is amusing but the script would require serious further working for it to achieve real entertainment quality. I am not a plausibility freak, but to assume that a bank would grant a 2 million dollar loan without any collateral is just insulting. The copy exhibited on Brazilian channel Telecine is only 89 minutes long, 5 minutes shorter than the length that is given by IMDb.
