Marido de Aluguel comedy film to premiere in Brazil

The Brazilian comedy film ‘Marido de Aluguel’, directed and written by Paulo Fontenelle, is scheduled for theatrical release across Brazil on September 24. Distributed by Imagem Filmes, the film features a cast including Maurício Manfrini and Mariana Xavier.

The plot follows Alice, a mother facing financial difficulties, and her encounter with Vadeco, an eccentric ‘rent-a-husband’ played by Manfrini, who promises to solve various problems. The narrative is complicated by the escape of Alice’s ex-husband from prison. The film utilizes physical humor and character dynamics inspired by classic comedy groups like ‘Os Trapalhões’ and ‘The Three Stooges’.
