    Released the same year as City of God (so never gained the attention it deserved), this is now my best Brazilian movie. Romantic, funny, optimistic and cruel at times, with a very successful casting (how cute is Leandra Leal as Sílvia?). It was a bit longer than it should, maybe. Anyway, good job, nice film.

    I wish I could watch every movie ever made but I sadly don't have the time. I'm not interested in this movie because I don't think I'll like it or don't know enough about it to think I might like it. I may still end up seeing it some day though.

    o estilo do jorge furtado se repete... como o woody allen faz, tem sempre porto alegre e um cara atrapalhado querendo conquistar uma mulher. ele é muito bom em criar diálogos sensacionais, mas geralmente, não consegue sustentar tão bem os filmes. com esse não foi diferente. e os fugitivos do final são tão fodidos na vida que a gente até se sente mal por pensar que pode ser minimamente parecido com eles...

    The man behind
    "Ilha das Flores", the best short film of all-time, directs this heartbreaking and acid comedy with a clever screenplay and great acting, especially Lázaro Ramos` performance. "The Man Who Copied" is definitely one of my top ten movies of 2003.

    Que eu posso dizer? Adoro o Jorge Furtado. As histórias dele são fantásticas e ele sabe como dirigir um filme de maneria que a audiência se envolva com os personagens.

    I love this movie because of this brazilian opimitism that manifests itself throughout the film, was truly beautiful and so jolly to watch. Well, God rewards the poor but happy people with a happy ending in spite of their serious violation of law - it was the hidden implication I got from this film and I loved for it. Only in Brazil? I would never know.
