The story is set in Brazil. A fanatical football fan is a nuisance to his family. Every social interaction in which he engages is tainted by his adherence to one football team. His authoritarian personality becomes too much for his son and daughter to withstand, and they decide to leave their parents' house.
Mostly unremarkable dramatic comedy, which was aimed at the central comedian's low-brow audience. It is not devoid of social observation and some basic storytelling skill. Perhaps I am inevitably less critical of it than a non-Brazilian viewer would be, since I am more familiar with the social context it depicts. The film works as a mild critique of bigotry and authoritarianism, but is miles away from being provocative or status quo defying.
