How to take a nice idea for a movie and ruin everything in one and a half hours
23 September 2010
I'm from Portugal and i really wanted this movie to be good, to be proud of Portuguese cinema but...

The movie has a lot of mistakes, like out of focus pictures (scene where mother and daughter talk on the roof) and the scene where the boy is talking with the old men on the car.

The acting is mostly bad, except for the Mother which is REALLY REALLY, dreadful bad.

The idea of the movie was good, but the bad plot, the catastrophic acting (have i mentioned how bad the mother's acting was?) and out of focus pictures just become unacceptable.

There are far better movies in Portugal, we didn't needed to go to USA to make such a bad movie...

If you want my advice watch real Portuguese movies and not this...
