There are people afraid of coming to Brazil after Turistas, so I wrote this text and got this cartoon (clicking the link) from a famous brazilian website:
BRAZILIAN ANSWER FOR “TURISTAS”
We can’t trust every stereotype the media wants us to. If every single stereotype is true:
-French people don’t like baths.
-Mexicans only eat tacos.
-Canadians live in an igloo.
-Americans… well, watch the cartoon and find out.

Don’t trust everything you see in movies. There are people who love money so much that they’ll do anything they can to have it… even tell lies about a country.

The foreigners think that Brazil is just a jungle and that we live in trees with monkeys and this things...
It's not true!
Brazil is a country of varyeties, it's in Brazil that have the bigger city in Latin America,São Paulo, a symbol of a economic development. The bigger latin economy is the brazilian one. (i think that mexico passed brazil, but it's always like this, one year brazil,other year mexico and it goes...)
Let's take the South region now like an example, the life's quality there can be compared with europeans countries, the cleaness of the city and the politeness is caracteristics os the brazil's south. What is very different if you compare with other regions.
Of course, we have this jungles,with monkeys,ounce,and all this savage things.
But i'm saiying all this just to show for the foreigners that doesn't have any information about our country,and for them leave that wrong idea about Brazil.
Abraços!

I agree with the first couple of respondents. And more people will be curious about Brazil after seeing it, à la "Borat" and Kazakhstan (oops, that may be like comparing cajás and apples).
Ultimately, Americans are just so ambivalent, national stereotypes don't hold up. Well, the French excepted.
Note to "pop" (above): From the record of the national soccer team, it's clear to foreigners that Brazilians have been out of the trees for a long, long time.

Actually movie critics in the US have blasted the movie for those same reasons. However it is just a movie...I don't make my decisions in life on fairy tales from Hollywood.
I think that we are smart enough to realize Brazil is not some crazy horror flick of a country where they cut out your organs for money.

Babby srsly recommends Nair at the satchel, and wax at the tube root. Wax at the satchel can outcomes in principal rippage and stitches. The stitches rationale itches and itches, scratches. That's nawt riet.

um, it's JUST a movie to most, intelligent people .. and a "rental" one at that. Relax.
I'm more intimidated by a brazilian wax than the movie subject.
