Excellent, a Must See

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

In fact, Xuxa ain't a great movie-maker, but in "Super Xuxa Contra o Baixo Astral" she gave her best and the result is a healthy and entertaining movie, that appeals most ranges of public. Actually, this film is the result of an exhaustive search for the ideal aesthetics for a family movie, developed by the main director, David Sonnenschein. In the character "Baixo Astral", most of the contemporary neo-romantic antagonism is mimethized such as the dilemma of the self affirmation against the behavior that is asked for it, which may serve as influence in the development of the symbolic and yet referential psique of the young spectators. Although notoriously influenced by Deleuze's ontology, Sonnenschein was able to, with strategic adaptations, give us the concept of the true freedom. There are a lot of plot issues, and a few situations that don't fit the global proposition. The editing also seems to be made in such a rush that in certain moments we cannot follow the illogic flow of the movie. But, despite the cliché problematic, "Super Xuxa Contra o Baixo Astral" is a good movie, with a positive message and a bright cast. The highlights are on Guilherme Karan, a visionary entertainer, with lots of humanity and a remarkable body expression. Finally, the last scene, along with the unforgettable musical performances and the growth of the fantasy characters (led by Henriqueta Brieba) in the plot represent the true contemporary interpretation of childhood, and must be remembered after all. If an unusual link is possible, this whole emblematic proposition should represent to the Brazilian cinema what the mythological character conception of István Szabó once was for the east-European avant-gardes.

The wacko caterpillar is by far the best character! Good pace,dancing clips, the story is simple but the lines have smart philosophy. Better content than the usual kid's films. The villain Baixo Astral terrifies the little kids with his white eyes but Karam's ironic touch singing Michael Jackson's "I'm Bad" and torturing Xuxa's dog with her own past hit song "Sweet Honey" make the film entertaining even for teenagers who look for a light popcorn afternoon. Bad Vibe's world with pollution of waters, terrorism and bureaucracy is still up to date. More action than any other musical. The only thing I did not like was too many merchandising. Nevertheless it is a classic. Worth your time. Parents will enjoy too. The best of all Xuxa films.

That was Xuxa first movie as a protagonist. The idea of mixing several guest actors with a poor screenplay results in a funny ridiculous movie. If in the 80's the kids could think it was interesting, the new will not believe in how people could be so stupid. There is not even a good will message like "behave yourself". Nothing else than waiste of time. If you would like to see a better Xuxa movie, try "Lua de Cristal". Maybe that is the only which you can find a convincent progress a the plot well directed. But don't try to show it to your children, or they will live you alone....

I've never seen a movie as terrible than this one. Look, I know that Xuxa loves her 'baixinhos', but making a movie like 'Super Xuxa Contra o Baixo Astral' is, at least, a slap on everybody's face, even kids! Go see this movie and cry!
