What The Nutty Boy Is About
Adapted from Brazilian cartoonist Ziraldo's iconic comic strip, The Nutty Boy (originally Menino Maluquinho: O Filme) follows a rambunctious kid's carefree days growing up in a small town in the 1960s. It landed at number three at the Brazilian box office in 1995, behind only "Carlota" and Fábio Barreto's "O Quatrilho," and remains director Helvécio Ratton's highest grossing film to date. Its success led to a sequel, "Menino Maluquinho 2," three years later. Who it's for: anyone curious about 90s Brazilian family cinema and comic strip based, nostalgic coming of age stories. Who it's not for: viewers used to fast paced modern kids' films, since this keeps the unhurried pace typical of its era.
