    Esse eh um dos meus filmes nacionais preferidos. Tem uma história muito louca e um romance bonitinho!!! Muito engraçado... só perde mesmo pro Auto da Compadecida em termos de riso.

    uma historinha boba para as massas, por mais preconceituosa que pareça essa premissa... mas o duro mesmo é agüentar o sotaque ridículo da deborah fallabela.
