If you are familiar with the Portuguese culture and its immigrants you will find this ovie hilarious.
Of course there is a lot of physical comedy, but it is suppose to be a silly movie, not a cult, elaborate one.
They do make fun of the Portuguese, but also of the French and the Arabs.
It has nothing to do with racism, it is just silly humor.

This movie is hillarious!
Too much sensible souls
I am Portuguese and I live in Portugal. I love my culture and I love my fellow dear Portuguese emmigrants. I couldn't care less about this cancel culture or the woke movement. I'm African, Jewish, Celtish, Scandinavian, Luso, Roman, Arab, Greek, Chinese, I'm Portuguese, and I'm a mixture of all these cultures and thousands more and I'm sick of this cynical inquisition where comedy is censored, sick of these sensitive inquisitors that only see bad things everywhere, stereotypes, racism, hate, that generate the real gaps between different cultures.
This movie does not have outdated racist stereotypes, it shows some of our traces, perhaps some of the most evident and obvious. Yes, we work hard, yes we love bacalhau, yes we love Ronaldo and are obsessed with football, yes we love to sing our hymn, yes we love our familly, yes we go to the church, yes we love barbecues and love chouriço, morcela, queijo, salpicão, yes we hide our money in bags, closets, below our bed, yes we love to dance Pimba music and Fado, yes we love to sing Portugal Olé! And yes, we love to make fun of ourselves and criticize everything.
The purpose of this movie is exactly the opposite of what is said in the past 2 reviews, it's to show that Portuguese have very big hearts and souls. The undercover police went to this voyage of realizing how amazing is our culture, giving the insight to the Frech that we as emigrants are not some king of weird species.
Grow up and thumbs up to this light comedy, I certainly enjoy it.
Horrible.
Just another lazy, stupid movie. A bunch of dated clichés about a specific group of people. The usual french arrogance. Horrible.
