StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Luis Salgueiro Warning: This is my first review on IMDb!To be honest, after watching the previous two movies of this trilogy, I was expecting worse from this movie. Congratulations to Pedro Varela on a very successful movie, mostly when compared with the previous ones of Leonel Vieira.Never forgetting that this 3 movies are not pure remakes of the movies of the decades of 30 and 40, in the "A Canção de Lisboa" the original plot was transposed to the current era with greater success. In terms of argument, this film is far superior to the 2 previous movies. Perchance because it remained more glued to the original story...As to the representations, César Mourão makes a Vasco behind the potential that his character would allow. Despite the richness of Vasco character, rarely the impersonation was actually above average. On the other hand, on the role of Alice, Luana Martau was the biggest surprise of this movie! An awesome ability to transmit feelings and to generate emotions that I confess I wasn't expecting. And, to top it all, she sings beautifully! The union between Alice and her father, Miguel Guilherme, helped that this actor had his best performance of the 3 movies. Luana Martau is the biggest asset in this film!Another aspect that I highlight in "A Canção de Lisboa" is the soundtrack. The sounds and melodies of Miguel Araújo made the movie more enjoyable, pleasant and sentimental. A clear improvement in the trilogy.Therefore, knowing previously that you'll not see a masterpiece, you should go to the cinema to watch this simple, light and well achieved comedy.
Henrique Magalhaes First time making a review on IMDb.I have to say this was better than I expected. I heard bad comments about Leão da Estrela and Pátio das Cantigas (without even watching them) so I wasn't expecting much out of this. Thankfully, I went to watch the movie anyway and I enjoyed.First, I never watched the original one so I won't make any comparisons. Also, I think it's rather pointless to do it, the movies are 80 years apart and I'm sure it wasn't the goal of this movie to be better or worse, but be updated and different.Personally, I didn't care for Vasco character or story. Just a guy enjoying life thanks to the work of others.But I was impressed by Luana Martau (Alice). I didn't know her and I quite enjoyed her performance and her chemistry with Miguel Guilherme (José Caetano). The development of their relationship was the highlight for me. A note for the aunts, with 2 great actresses - São José Lapa and Maria Vieira -, it can't go wrong and they were for the comic relief. Great accent by São José Lapa. Overall go watch this without thinking of the original one if you watched it. It will make you laugh here and there and it has a cute story with very different characters.
