75Furtado's comic thriller is a telling commentary on modern avarice in Brazil and elsewhere, which touches on everything from "The Simpsons" to "Rear Window" along the way. Too bad it runs out of ideas before the overlong story is over.
-
60There's at least one good movie in The Man Who Copied's 124 minutes, but Furtado never settles on it.
-
60It's too fundamentally light-hearted to wallow in grinding poverty and despair.
-
In spite of some genuinely charming performances, The Man Who Copied is about as engaging as a paper jam.
