"GORDOS" is a comedy about life's excesses and deficiencies; about our insecurities, phobias, obsessions, traumas, mistakes, fears, blame, desires, hopes, challenges, concessions, goals, relationships, love, sex, health, family... about survival in the widest and "largest" sense of the word.
The movie is pizza, ice-cream, chocolate, sweets, calories, lot of calories. It is also guilt, desire, fear, hope, dreams, sex, family, love. But it is happy, optimistic, painful, tender, harsh, light, profound. A comedy. A drama. A collection of contradictions. It's life, the life of a gay actor presenting weight loss products who lose his job because he get fat and who starts dating a ... woman.
Mel Brooks comprova que é realmente um tesouro magnífico com sua engenhosa e incrivelmente engraçada refilmagem do clássico de Ernst Lubitsch de 1942. Corretamente descrito como "mundialmente famoso na Polônia", o astro dos palcos Frederick Bronski (Brooks) apresenta Pérolas de Hamlet, enquanto sua sedutora esposa e companheira de palco (Anne Bancroft) diverte-se nos camarins com um jovem e encantador aviador (Tim Matheson). Mas tudo isso é interrompido quando a Trupe Teatral de Bronski é alistada para enganar os nazistas e salvar a resistência polonesa. Miraculosamente desafiados por seus duvidosos disfarces, imitações e números musicais estão um amoroso coronel da SS (o indicado ao Oscar®, Charles Durning) e seu terrível colaborador polonês (Jose Ferrer).
