Boy, was this story so overrun that it ran out of gas before its got to the thrilling parts. "Doida Demais" presents nothing that you
haven't seen it before, specially if you know softcore flicks out there where the main attraction are the actresses getting involved in countless sex
scenes. Here, Vera Fischer and José Wilker play a team of fake art-dealers who play a con on a very rich old man (Ítalo Rossi), who has a deep crush on
the young woman, and then moments on (in a very confusing way) she meets another guy (Paulo Betti) of whom she falls in love, him with her and they run
away together when a complex stream of murders start to happen.
A summary of events (basically, it doesn't get farther than this): Betti and Vera have plenty of sex scenes while Wilker's character chases down
for several states, as the jealous partner who wants her for a next job. It all seems good when we hit the thrilling bits, the murders happen and the
couple's escape with a plane but it all falls flat when the bipolar woman (who used of the man to get away from her crimes) keeps changing her mind about
why she's stuck with the new guy, who know is obviously in love with her. It's all dumb and by the time we reach the encounter of the love triangle we are
deeply bothered by their connections, their relations and everything.
The only good character is this near-wreck is the old rich man. Mr. Rossi is a prime example of great acting in this thankless yet powerful role
where he steals the show every scene he's in. You almost want him to kill everybody after he realises he was betrayed all along and was sold a fake painting.
Are the sex scenes any good? Meh. The only one that kept me interested - in a funny way - is when the couple is driving a small truck on the desert road
and both of them are touching each other parts and the truck keeps going off the road and you almost think they're either gonna crash or maybe hit on Wilker's
car (but he never showed up then).
It's a quite laughable story, without any deep conflict or deep interesting point to make - except when the closing credits come there's a quote
that says about live life to the fullest (just like the leading lady does, in a way) but I didn't buy it. I almost enjoyed it because David Tygel's score is good,
and the cinematography by Oscar nominated DP César Charlone and another guy reaches amazing moments and shots. Other than that, there's almost nothing enjoyable
about this. Avoid it and for more opinions on it, read the other reviews. They are not enthusiastic as I'm being and we hated this movie. 5/10.
