This Brazilian film is an adaptation of a novel written by a Wattpad user and is notable for the quality of the story and even more so for having the same author in charge of the script. This is another one of those Wattpad stories that many women use to express their deepest desires, correctly justifying what women really are. The film is a story of passion, betrayal and eroticism that at times pretends to be a romantic film and at other times an erotic film. It's not exactly like Fifty Shades Of Gray and it's a film that's on par with a soap opera.
The romance story it has is quite typical and even cheesy with hilarious moments. The erotic scenes manage to be good, but they don't seem to be used at the right times. As an erotic film it could have worked well and would have been better, since erotic cinema has been dead for a long time. The protagonist of this story is like many female characters in a Wattpad story, they are usually clear reflections of the authors' alter-ego. The good thing about that is that it helps you see what feminine nature is really like, no matter how much they try to hide it. The motivations that lead Babi to want to have an affair with Marco are as fair as Caio's betrayal that unleashes the events. After all, romantic relationships are something that are not really worth it and pleasure is the only thing that should be more relevant.
To be fair, the plot of the film is good, but the script has a couple of holes, flaws and needed more development. The secrets that lie about Marcus and Caio could have added quite a bit if they had been explored further. The ending makes the film hide a crime story behind it that could also have contributed a lot, but it didn't. Like any Wattpad story, the entire story only revolves around the protagonist. You can't expect much from someone who writes on Wattpad. Clearly, this proves that a Wattpad writer needs more literary knowledge to create a story, but the reality is that we are already in an era where that has become irrelevant and only the popularity of the manuscript matters regardless of the quality. Nowadays anyone can be a writer without having any experience and after the phenomenon of the After saga, this film is one of the many results of how Internet culture has even taken over cinema.
O Lado Bom De Ser Traída is a Wattpad movie that may not work as a movie, but it is an entertaining story that any soap opera lover can enjoy. My final rating for this movie is a 7/10.
