Xuxa filmography
This is a complete filmography of Xuxa, an Brazilian singer, actress, and TV host.
Xuxa's first starring role was in Amor Estranho Amor (English title: Love Strange Love), a controversial 1982, erotic film produced by Anibal Massaini Neto for Cineaste in Brazil.[1] The plot involves an adult man's recollection of a short period in his life in 1937. As a teenager, he visited his mother, the favorite woman of an important politician, in a bordello owned by her, right before key political changes in Brazil. In those hours, he discovers his own sexuality. Although rather tame by today's modern standards, the movie was considered somewhat controversial by some because it contains two brief scenes of sensuality between a libertine character played by Xuxa and the teenager.
Xuxa also starred in a new movie every year. Her first biggest box office hit was in 1988, with Super Xuxa Contra Baixo Astral, which included her hit song Arco-Íris, a hit across Latin America. Her second biggest box-office hit was Lua de Cristal (1991), which had over 5 million viewers and included the single, Lua de Cristal, the sixth biggest box office success of all time in Brazil and biggest success of the 1990s.[2] In the summer of 1993, presenter Sergio Malandro, Lua de Cristal male lead, and the "Paquitas" and "Paquitos" (Xou da Xuxa dancers) made another movie, this time produced by Xuxa. Sonho de Verão, a youth-oriented movie, was a moderate hit compared to her other films.
In 1999, she starred in the movie Xuxa Requebra. The movie was a critical success and a commercial hit, becoming the most successful Brazilian movie of the year. She used the same formula for her next movie, Xuxa Postar, which was also very successful but a critical failure.[3]
She starred in Xuxa e os Duendes in 2001, Xuxa e os Duendes 2 in 2002, Xuxa Abracadabra in 2003, and Xuxa e o Mistério da Cidade Perdida in 2004. Her first animated movie Xuxinha e Guto: Contra os Monstros do Espaço was released in 2005 and was not well received by critics. In her 2006 movie, Xuxa Gêmeas, she played twins, one evil and one good. The movie featured the singer Ivete Sangalo and was a "come back" for Xuxa in the cinema. The movie had more than 1 million viewers.[4]
In 2009, Xuxa launched her film Xuxa em O Mistério de Feiurinha, which tells the story of what happens in fairy tales after the "and they all lived happily ever after" ending. The film is an adaptation of Pedro Bandeira's book O Fantástico Mistério de Feiurinha that has sold over 2 million copies. The movie's cast included such names as: Sasha, Luciano Szafir and Luciano Huck, Angélica and Hebe Camargo. It had over 1.3 million viewer,s and was also shown in the USA and Angola, where its numbers surpassed James Cameron's Avatar.[5][6][7]
