Inspetor Faustão e o Mallandro (lit. Inspector Faustão and Mallandro) is a 1991 Comedy Brazilian film directed by Mário Márcio Bandarra.

Plot
Faustão is an inspector and his mission is protect the animals and the wicked Mallandro, his boss's son, becomes his partner. Now he needs to find some rare quails where stolen by animal traffickers.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Awful and stupid plot, being about Faustão being chosen by God to protect some rare quails which have the power to tell the truth.
 * 2) Poor acting, a example being some scenes where Faustão looks at the camera, even when he doesn't interact with it.
 * 3) The (in)famous Egg rap, while catchy, is played in excess of the film, to the point where it seems to be the only soundtrack the film has.
 * 4) Speaking of the music, it unintentionally ends up spoiling the movie, when Faustão says "Take a quail egg whenever you feel like it, but be careful with this egg, it is the egg of truth", which would later be revealed to be the power of the egg.
 * 5) Bad attempts at humor, like:
 * 6) A Running Gag where Budum has a habit of burp every time he appears, which is just a poor attempt of gross out humor.
 * 7) Faustão breaking the fourth-wall can be very annoying sometimes, and makes the movie ended up losing your focus.
 * 8) There's also a political joke involving Faustão dogs: Salario Minimo (Minimum wage) and Inflação (Inflation), which one being small dog and the other being a big dog, whose joke was intended to criticize Brazil's economy in 1991, nowdays the joke can be considered dated.
 * 9) Sergio Mallandro character, is annoying, and an unecessary character, which his dream of being a singer only serves so they can make a subplot for the movie.
 * 10) Sometimes, the movie tries to be emotional, like in the scene where Mallandro and Amélia relationship breakup, or when Faustão dogs disappear, only for ended up with a anticlimactic joke.
 * 11) Mediocre ending: After saving the egg, the movie ended up with Faustão and Mallandro singing the Rap do Ovo.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The Movie can be considered "So Bad, It's Good".
 * 2) Like said before, the Egg rap song is catchy, despise being plated in excess.
 * 3) Despise some attempts at humor being bad, it still has some funny moments.
 * 4) Some one-liners are funny, like "VOCÊ DESTRUIU O MEU OVO!", "Prefere Cru ou Assado" and many more.
 * 5) Some funny and likeable characters, like Faustinho, Superintendent, Tom Cru.

Reception
