From its sweet, energetic stars to its funny and occasionally earnest commentary on crossing cultures and discovering oneself, this Brazilian comedy is kooky and charming.

Rated: 4/5

Decider

While the premise of The Secret Diary of An Exchange Student is promising, it's unfortunately squandered by underdeveloped female characters and an absolutely bonkers script.

O filme é perfeito, acho um crime não ter sido indicado ao Oscar de melhor filme estrangeiro, o romance entre a protagonista e o Lucas é muito envolvente e as músicas são ótimas. Infelizmente a Larissa Manoela não fica com a mãe de Lucas, por isso estou dando quatro estrelas. Mas não se esqueçam que "EU QUERO VOAAAAAAAARRRR".

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

It's a nice movie and a nice story. I've watched it more than once because it's a very funny movie. Laughed a lot watching! And the plot twist at the end?? I was shocked, I didn't think it would happen. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Go Watch it!

I've watched this movie several times and I never get tired of it. The character Taila is so funny. And Barbara & Lucas are a very cute couple, I love them. I RECOMMEND IT!
