Critical response
One film critic at the website Papo de Cinema wrote that "it must have been a much more fun project behind the scenes than on this side of the screen".[4] Another critic at Folha de S.Paulo analyzed that the comedy about the malandro carioca "loses its appeal with sitcom structure".[5] At Omelete another critic considered the film to be a "type of surface-level comedy".[6]
