The story
Two marketing executives go "balls out" and pitch a bold full‑coverage condom sponsorship with the World Cup. After their drunken celebration in Brazil sparks a global scandal, they must outrun furious fans, criminals, and power-hungry officials to salvage their careers and make it home alive.
What it’s like
Loud, crude buddy-comedy energy, with the bravado of two over-confident men who keep making things worse for themselves. The premise sets a raucous, bawdy register from the first frame: a drunken celebration, a sponsorship pitch built on sex-adjacent humour, and a Brazilian World Cup backdrop that suggests crowds, street chaos and bright, busy locations. The pacing follows the shape of a chase comedy, with escalating set pieces, quick cuts between pursuers and pursued, and a rhythm that favours momentum over quiet. Emotionally it stays light and goofy, with the arc of two self-serving professionals slowly having to face the consequences of their choices. Expect sexual innuendo and crude jokes throughout, plus chase-driven action and slapstick scuffles; the level of physical violence and gore is not something this description can vouch for, so it should not be assumed gentle. It suits a noisy weekend night with friends, or anyone who enjoys irreverent, bro-leaning comedies where the chaos is the point and the tone never settles into anything tender.
