How can you begin your two-paragraph IMDb user review


“In São Paulo, the upper middle class punk-singer Andre a.k.a. Magnata spends his time in the periphery with his friends from the lower class, singing in clubs and wasting his inheritance. When he is challenged by his friends to steal a Ferrari from a store, he accepts the challenge and he goes with his pal Chivitz. They rob the car, and after driving for fun, Magnata goes to the stage for a concert and asks Chivitz to get rid of the car because it would be located through the GPS system. However, Chivitz decides to drive more and is arrested by the police. Meanwhile, Magnata meets Adriana Melo, who has just arrived from New York with his friend Renata that invites him for her birthday party on the next day. Magnata dates Adriana and falls in love for her, but this reckless prank stealing the Ferrari leads them to a tragic consequence.”


…and then have your whole second paragraph talk about what a steaming pile the movie is?


Today’s Winner wrote and appears in that film, and made his name as the lead singer of a Brazilian band with the excellent name Charlie Brown Jr. (God, how I miss the days when you could read about the existence of a Brazilian rock band called Charlie Brown Jr, and never have any reason to imagine you’d ever have the opportunity to hear what they sounded like! The internet really has done a number on the concepts of both foreignness and obscurity.)
