Nice beginning, bad development, terrible end

The movie begins with a funny and considerably well done comedy (after some nice animated opening credits) story about glutton lecherous Coronel Alexandrão with a virgin shy woman in Minas Gerais (by the title you may expect what happens...), which could have been adapted as a short film. Unfortunately, most of the movie, held in Rio de Janeiro, is just a silly chaotic camp with few good gags, specifically when it comes to the negotiations about the scheme and the metaphyisical issue. It is a bad exploitation film, anyway. The hemophobic last part is just a nonsense graft full of stupid prejudice, with no plausible relation with the story ever since.
