Lighthearted Brazilian RomCom
28 September 2015
The movie begins as Miá and Fábio are waiting in line to get married by a justice of the peace, having known each other for almost no time at all. From there they go straight to their honeymoon, which will take place aboard a cruise liner with an ultimate stop in Italy. The couple have several issues which develop from their quick marriage - namely they don't really know each other very well.

Fábio is a cheapskate who won't do or buy anything on the ship that isn't included in the package (nor will he let Miá) and seems to think it's perfectly acceptable to only wear soccer jerseys to any event. Miá serves mainly as a pretty face to look at and doesn't really bring anything of value to the film, other than to put up with Fábio's BS and advance the plot.

Soon the couple runs into another couple, and it turns out Miá used to date the man, and Fábio had a crush on the woman since childhood. Of course neither are open and honest, so this leads to problems including the man trying to seduce Miá. Two crew members are also introduced, who have a bet about whether or not Miá and Fábio will split up before the cruise is over and both begin meddling in the relationship. Complicating matters further is Fábio's annoying and immature friend Cabeça, who for some reason was invited by Fábio to stay in their cabin to cruise to Italy (without discussing this with Miá beforehand). From there the couple has to try to mend differences and overcome all of the challenges that they've brought upon themselves.

Overall the movie wasn't too bad, but it's full of clichés and if-only-they-just-told-each-other-the-truth moments. It has several very funny scenes, but you'll probably walk away feeling like you've seen this movie before.
