Story is simple. Two life long friends are in their early 30s and are not doing well in life. Ricardo is a wanna designer and Frederico is a massive failure with a younger brother to take care of. One day Fred sees an article in a paper providing grant for young businessmen. They decide to partner to open up a fashion house, but pretty soon they realize that the grant is open for only couples. Because of intervention by newspaper director (who is closet gay himself), they decide to pretend to be gay. Ricardo's girlfriend freaks out and meanwhile an investigative journalist starts falling for Frederico. Soon their secret is out, but an emotional speech by the director, their grant stays and the two friends soon become successful.
The film was really lame. A lot of scenes were happening just for the sake of it. And a lot of sudden flashback scenes would show up, terribly disrupting the flow of the film. The film also lacked coherent continuity of the scenes unfolding. If the target of this film was gay audience, I hate to say that it was a failure, since pretty much no time is devoted to that part. They just pretend to be gay, but no funny scenes or gags follow which is what usually happens in such films. The whole mafia angle, the reporter and the flashback killing of the family was all so confusing and random and wasn't needed at all. I wonder what the makers were thinking when they made the film. To be honest, I really wouldn't out this in queer cinema anyway. (3/10)
