Reception
Critical response
Totalmente Inocentes received more negative reviews than positive, in several websites; one of the main Brazilian websites about movies, the AdoroCinema.com ranked the film with 1.5. The critic website wrote that "Totalmente Inocentes is a tiring film, it doesn't explores convincingly the material at hand [...] a movie totally weak." Critics from other well-known websites, like CineClick said "Totalmente Inocentes has a poor script and direction shortsighted and does not comply with the basic commitment of a comedy: make people laugh".[5] The website Cinema com Rapadura, quoted that "The humor is ridiculous and so unfunny".[6] Criticism from viewers of the websites were not different, mostly criticizing the script of Rodrigo Bittencourt.[5]
