Seriously, a waste of time and of film. It is so overridden of clichés about Portugal that it becomes sickening. Also gives the impression that all Portuguese speak German. Riiight. Also gives the idea that Portugal doesn't have real roads outside of Lisbon, and that everybody drives in old cars from the 60's or 70's and pickup trucks.
Also the actor playing Luis' character didn't even try to speak European Portuguese, but instead speaks Brazilian Portuguese... It ends up being disrespectful towards the Portuguese people and culture.
It is all based out of prejudice. And then they try to force the German health insurance system into the Portuguese context. And then they drive into a f... up brothel. Seriously, wtf? Next scene, a Fado singer. All we need know is a Benfica scarf and.... Here we go! God, what a piece of crap.
