The crazy sisters' revenge

This film is a Brazilian comedy with some very well known stars of Brazilian TV, like Mariana Ximenes (Roberta), Paloma Duarte (Suzana Pessegueiro) or Thiago Lacerda (Francisco Pessegueiro). The principal roles are played by Mariana and Paloma which are two crazy sisters in the movie that kidnap their own grand-mother to "torture" her in order to revenge some "bad treatment" that the old lady gave them when they were younger. In fact, the plot is very simple but a little bit strange, because the main topic of the story is just that! They kidnap her and go to a house near to the beach where they used to pass the summer holidays (and where this "bad treatment" happened). In the middle they meet other guy, Renato (played by Angelo Paes Leme), which goes with them, because he's running away from the police (because of Roberta!). Well, the plot is a bit strange, but the movie turns funny anyway… Even so, it could have been better! It has some really nice jokes, but what really makes me give some extra score is the beauty of the two main actresses, Mariana Ximenes and Paloma Duarte. They are very beautiful and make an excellent job as the "avenger sisters"! They definitely increased the quality of this movie! The settings are amazing too, as they describe the incredible natural beauty of northlands of Brazil.
