The movie is excellent, the book more so, one you cannot put down until finished. Escaping over the mountains into Turkey, thank God for the wonderful people there who helped. Thank God we live in Australia.
Devils mix some truth with a lot of lies to hide the reality. This American mother mixed a little truth with a lot of lies to introduce herself and show Dr. Mahmoudi as a monster in the eyes of her daughter and the world. God will punish this woman badly one day.
I know how poor Betty and her daughter felt in Iran. In my childhood my family forced me to live in Egypt, and I would do anything to return to Sweden which I see as my native country.
@Jakke Saleh We arr supposed to choose to believe or not in something. Forcing someone to believe and you have more chance for them to go away. I am so sad.
Her husband was completely influenced by his family. If he really cared for his wife and daughter he would stand up for them and go back! Husbands/boyfriend whatever material has to stand by you and not drag you in to hell. That aint love dear
@@Beamshipcaptain NO IT'S NOT. This is clearly culture and nothing to do with faith. Besides Iran is a shia country. Not a Muslim country. They've created their own Religion and called it Islam.
This was such a great movie however I'm so glad Betty and her daughter escaped safely. All those brave people who helped them. I can't imagine how scary the journey to freedom must have been. Looking forward to reading the book .
Amen. It was touching when she prayed with her daughter during the movie. Thank God they escaped. In the movie she never removed the cross from around her neck.
I am an Indian. My brother went to Iran for job. He was there for 2 yrs. And his experience was terrible. There is law in Iran that during the 'Roza' period , you should not eat anything infront of Muslim people , irrespective of ur religion , citizenship , gender. And my brother didn't know this. He was punished for this. The punishment was to stand in middle of road and watch continuously to Sun in afternoon for 2 hours. Here in India we have Muslim family as a neighbor but here in India there are no such useless rules.
@@ciaronsmith4995 not a lie at all fake profile. Iran is a radical islamic state not a Secular Country and doesn't have a Secular Constitution. Parsis are very low in Iran and nearly 99% are Shia Muslims.
This make me remember when my family forced me, a swedish citizen, to stay and live in Egypt in my childhood. I never liked it, and was ready to do anything for returning. At last I returned to Sweden and became so happy.
Severus Jake Are you taking aim just at Muslims, or are you impartial? As an American child, I had to live in Saudi Arabia for six years. Nobody asked me if I wanted to go, but I guess children are supposed to shut up and obey their parents. I didn't particularly think much about it, but I survived, and I'm here.
Mihály Porogi I didn't say anything about Muslims. By the way I am a muslim but I am used to live in a western country. What my parent have done to me was very stupid/evil.
Severus Jake I'm sorry to hear about your negative experience. It must've been confusing sometimes: having a background that was part Western, part Middle Eastern. But I hope that someday you'll be able to forgive your parents and ask them why they moved the family from Scandinavia to Egypt.
Mihály Porogi It was for more than 15 years ago so I have already forgot. First time we moved because we were followed, but we could fix it in another way. The second time because my parents wanted my sisters to grow up in an islamic country and mommy wanted me with her/them there. But that was wrong anyway. We were not the only muslim family in Sweden/Europe.
It's a story of a mother, her determination and courage. it's also story of a male dominance over women in the name of religion. True religion is not the one which men are scripting. It has happened in Iran, but it can happen anywhere in the world. Name of persons and colour of religion may be different but the stress will be same and sufferers will be same as well.
@Rulya Mórrigan Ard Mhacha I became Muslim many years ago and had to endure comments like yours. Ten years later after educating my anti muslim father about the rights of women in Islam he said "hmmm..Islam gives too many rights to women". Perhaps its time to actually learn about the rights of women in Islam from proper Islamic sources. Oppression of women in Islamic countries is not due to Islam but cultural practices that were in place BEFORE Islam. Men then just cherry pick to suits their agenda
@@simorf Haha. You want proper Islamic sources? Koran is good enough for you? There you go: "As for women of whom you fear rebellion, convince them, and leave them apart in beds, and beat them. Then, if they obey you, do not seek a way against them." Nice, job.
Found out about this film only after being in an emotionally abusive relationship for a year with a muslim man. He seemed so charming at first, so romantic. Heard all these horrible tales but thought, no, not my Has. So thankfull to my friends for pressuring me to ask all the awkward questions early on. Healing now but scarred for ever. Islam is not a nice religion for women.

There is another version which is supposedly much closer to the real events (from the book.) Shot on a lower budget and with a different cast of actors. May have been a TV movie. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see it (missed it on TV.) I only saw the big screen cinema version (Not Without My Daughter) which is only loosely based on the book and had a number of fictional elements added.
No! They would make Iran seem beautiful and welcoming. The husband a good kind man and make it seem like the bad guy for taking her kid with her. I don’t trust anything they put out there about Islam. It’s fine just the way it is.
Erm, yes, except that Betty had other young children in the US, from a previous marriage, that she left behind, with her parents, just to visit Iran with her new husband. Where was the unconditional mother love there? I have no respect for the woman and her stupidity.
What i remember from the film he didn't lie at first by saying just for two weeks, but he was influenced by his environment and old habits in Iran after arriving there.
It seems that whether it's Sally Field in this movie or Marisa Tomei (Aunt Mae in the MCU) in "The Perez Family", Doc Ock and Aunt Mae always wind up in movies together! X) X)
The movie was so drastically different from the book. It made me understand why there was so much protest over this movie. Betty and her daughter escaped during the winter and she was paralyzed from the waist down temporarily. Book had me depressed for days. I got a signed copy but no way to know if it's Bettys siggy or not.
The movie had only a limited budget. According to Betty they couldn't afford to wait until winter to film the escape, let alone preparing whole landscapes with fake snow. My impression is they generally stayed quite close to the real story.
fredfredburger28 nah there’s no such thing as politically correct. There’s “being an asshole”, and “not being an asshole”. This movie is depicting a true story so it should be told. Now, do I think every single person on that country would have these awful experience? Well, no. That would be statistically improbable.
actually its theme is as relevant now as the time that was depicted in the film. Numerous women have been tricked into crossing into IS territory with their families. Its not a reflection of muslim society or the islamic religion, its just an example of what happens when religious doctrine is exploited to radicalise. The only questionable part was the "for the crime of being an American" line, since that was definitely not the point of the story.
That has just become a reality in Saudi Arabia where a woman lost custody for being "too western" despite converting and having cultural ideas that are too liberal. Here we say "tolerate" and "its their culture" there they say "our way or the highway".
I remember watching this at a cousin's house in the early 90s. I was a child but I remember the part where her husband got mad & began beating her & then stomping on her head with his feet & how we were all shocked. Next scene with her she was heavily bandaged. I'm so shocked to know that I've come to be familiar with the main characters b'cos I've seen them in other movies as an adult but had no idea who they were as a child. 😂
And watched this and it was so good. And it shows how many times a someone can have the opportunity to escape. And they don’t. She was leaving, for sure! But she wasn’t leaving without her daughter.

Iran is a beautiful country rich in culture especially for the Persian carpet but the real problem is that Iranian women as foreign women don't have much right over there.
were u in iran before litte panda? ofcourse islam equals to terror but how did u find iran as a spooky country? please do not judge the place that u have never seen before.
because of islam, thats because of mullahs and the government who forces people to wear scarf, did u see the iranian women in europe or usa? most of them wear no scarf on their head. i do agree with u if u say islam or the iranian regime is spooky but the country and culture are totally different from what people think. I am living in germany here u see also lots of muslims these day who force their daugthers to war hijab but u can not say germany is spooky, at all islam is spooky.

What’s terrible is Moody wrote a book and movie called “Without My Daughter.” He painted Betty terribly. What he left out was Betty had two minor children from a previous marriage in America at the time. The comments are terrible against Betty. Her other children aren’t mentioned in this movie either, but in her book, he’s basically holding her captive and making her choose between her kids. That’s cruel.
Its a shame that this movie only has 50% rotton tomatoes and that it bombed at the box office which was really disappointing since do get me wrong but I think this is one of Sally Field's best movie role with Alfred Molina. I watched this movie with my mom and she said its a really good movie so I watched it myself and she was not wrong, this film was a pretty good film and it's still up there in my top 50 favorite movies.
My mom told me about this movie, too - I remember her telling me about how terrifying Alfred Molina is in this movie. All the same, I'd love to see it someday!
+Open Gates And in South Africa, Black Africans were referred to as kaffirs. In Arabic countries, unbelievers of islam are still called kaffirs. In Japan, non-Japanese people are called "gaijin". In Latin America, White, English-speaking people are called "gringos". Aborigines in Australia call White people "gubba". In China, White people are called "gweilo"--"ghosts". What's your point: That racism exists? Or are you saying that racism is solely an American trait?
What he did cannot be justified or excused. I keep thinking though, would he feel so strongly about his beliefs and nationality if they made him feel welcome and at home in the US?
I love this film, but the trailer gets one thing wrong. Being American wasn't "their only crime". Their only crime was being women. All of the women were treated like Betty was. Being American was her salvation, because she was able to escape.
Im not sure if you're irish, but you obviously havnt been to dublin, there is literally loads of muslims,, there is about 4 mosques alone in Dublin, And from what i'v whitnest i'v never had any problem with a muslim person, personally i think the majority of them are nice.
until you are in the family of a strict muslim and being a girl.. they will arrange your marriage and have to listen to what they say.. i live in a country with the biggest muslim population in the world. most people are nice, not everyone is strict or extremist, but almost all of them will require their people to marry people within the same religion or you have to change your religion and they will give you a muslim name in addition to your original name. Not until you are belong to the family that you will see the difference, the rules, etc. some of my muslim friends had arranged marriage. many are nice to people that are not from the same religion, but they have different views of how a woman should be in a family, always have to listen to or follow their husband, etc. It depends on you, if you have a free spirit,,that will be a problem. And yes the husband are allowed to have more than 1 wife and as a woman you have to respect the wish of your husband.
LionsDocus. Why don't you read the " holy " Quran,read about Mohammad,how he gained power,read about his life and life STYLE !! NO ONE said all muslims are bad ! BUT Be assured that those muslims that live EXACTLY by the words of the Quran and Mohammad way of life,are NO INFIDELS Friend !!! YOU are an infidel in the end for ALL TRUE muslim " believers " Now call me whatever you like but WE the West and the Middle East RARELY are a lasting or good match.

Quran will tell you ULTIMATE GOAL of Islam ! Read how many people in this world were " converted " by FORCE ! FYI Catholic Church did the Same !! Convert, Believe or DIE ! Religions are too often used as a political tool and feeble minded FOLLOWERS that BLINDLY Follow these " leader s " have caused much MISERY in the name of A " God " ! I believe in a Higher power BUT would NEVER Believe, Any book or blindly Follow everything that stands written @ interpreted by Man.... MEN ! Now go and READ about how exactly a BEE HIVE is made up and functions ! Very interesting actually,perfection at it's very BEST ! What is missing to achieve this Perfection ? MAN ... No males !! Bingo !!
No, but you can hold many of the people practicing said religion responsible. So many have messed up views of the originally-peaceful Muslim faith, but men, and their greed, have abused it. They have transformed areas of Islam into a faith of greed, violence, money and power. This film, and so many other true stories, prove this to be true.
+Celine A You do realize that Islam and Christianity come from the same culture basis, and the same region, with the same core beliefs and values right? And you do realize that the old testement is more bloody and gory then any verse of the Quran? I also see that it went way over your head that movies like these are created to brainwash easily influenced mindless, hateful human beings like you?
watched the trailer in class. I know this is a serious story, but the slap had me laughing hysterically. The sound effects and the exaggeration took me out

Erm, yes, except that Betty had other young children in the US, from a previous marriage, that she left behind, with her parents, just to visit Iran with her new husband.
Where was the unconditional mother love there? I have no respect for the woman and her stupidity.
I have read this book so many times. I am glad she made it... ❤
Nonsense and lies
Completely political
What i remember from the film he didn't lie at first by saying just for two weeks, but he was influenced by his environment and old habits in Iran after arriving there.
I watched this a bunch of times and I really love the movie
Me too.
Definitely worth watching. 👍
I remember seeing this trailer on a vhs previewer and was like. OMG! I need to watch this, absolutely brilliant
A marriage between Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina in Spider-Man 2) and Aunt Mae (Sally Field in The Amazing Spider-Man 1&2) was bound to fail.
It seems that whether it's Sally Field in this movie or Marisa Tomei (Aunt Mae in the MCU) in "The Perez Family", Doc Ock and Aunt Mae always wind up in movies together! X) X)
@@fanfictionandthings784 in 3 movies Doc Ock was with Aunt May all the time
2004
1991
2021
The movie was so drastically different from the book. It made me understand why there was so much protest over this movie. Betty and her daughter escaped during the winter and she was paralyzed from the waist down temporarily. Book had me depressed for days. I got a signed copy but no way to know if it's Bettys siggy or not.
The movie had only a limited budget. According to Betty they couldn't afford to wait until winter to film the escape, let alone preparing whole landscapes with fake snow. My impression is they generally stayed quite close to the real story.
@@MrMcsia If you read the book, it is vastly different. Nonetheless the story was important to be told. There are many overseas that can't get out.
This is scarier than any horror movie you will ever see
Wow nowadays there's no way this movie could be made in this politically correct world
fredfredburger28 nah there’s no such thing as politically correct. There’s “being an asshole”, and “not being an asshole”. This movie is depicting a true story so it should be told. Now, do I think every single person on that country would have these awful experience? Well, no. That would be statistically improbable.
This movie is the TRUTH !
actually its theme is as relevant now as the time that was depicted in the film. Numerous women have been tricked into crossing into IS territory with their families. Its not a reflection of muslim society or the islamic religion, its just an example of what happens when religious doctrine is exploited to radicalise. The only questionable part was the "for the crime of being an American" line, since that was definitely not the point of the story.
That has just become a reality in Saudi Arabia where a woman lost custody for being "too western" despite converting and having cultural ideas that are too liberal. Here we say "tolerate" and "its their culture" there they say "our way or the highway".
It made it's impact back then , now they have another strategy.
One of the Heartbreaking movie i've ever watched in my entire life.! 😢
i cried my eyes out 😭
Excellent movie. This movie is the truth..
great heartbreaking, tear-jerking story
Currently watching this movie the 5th billion time it’s brilliant
Don’t believe in it. Iranian men aren’t like this. This was just a poor and cheap attempt by Jews to give a bad image to Iran
I remember watching this at a cousin's house in the early 90s. I was a child but I remember the part where her husband got mad & began beating her & then stomping on her head with his feet & how we were all shocked. Next scene with her she was heavily bandaged. I'm so shocked to know that I've come to be familiar with the main characters b'cos I've seen them in other movies as an adult but had no idea who they were as a child. 😂
Life changing I love this movie
And watched this and it was so good. And it shows how many times a someone can have the opportunity to escape. And they don’t. She was leaving, for sure! But she wasn’t leaving without her daughter.
Sally fields great actress. Great movie!
August 2019 I'm watching.
2024 Sept... Just watched
Great movie. Great Actress.
It made me cry...
I'm currently reading the book but had to sneak a peak at the movie trailer. I recall watching this movie when I was younger 😔
They showed it to us in Geography class in middle school, lol
Crower was right, no way this film would get made in today's climate. "Only crime was being an American"
Of course it could be made today, far worse things have gone on screen
It doesn’t even make sense. Their “crime” in this instance was being female.
If Hollywood ever remakes this movie,it should be a different movie adaptation of the Not Without My Daughter book by being very accurate and faithful to the book and they should also add some more scenes and all of the characters that are from the Not Without My Daughter book to this different movie adaptation of Not Without My Daughter book instead of making some changes just like they did in this 1991 Not Without My Daughter movie adaptation or making a remake movie adaptation of the Not Without My Daughter book as a CGI live action movie just like they did in the Disney live action remake movies this time.Does anyone else agree with me?.

Iran is a beautiful country rich in culture especially for the Persian carpet but the real problem is that Iranian women as foreign women don't have much right over there.
were u in iran before litte panda? ofcourse islam equals to terror but how did u find iran as a spooky country? please do not judge the place that u have never seen before.
because of islam, thats because of mullahs and the government who forces people to wear scarf, did u see the iranian women in europe or usa? most of them wear no scarf on their head. i do agree with u if u say islam or the iranian regime is spooky but the country and culture are totally different from what people think. I am living in germany here u see also lots of muslims these day who force their daugthers to war hijab but u can not say germany is spooky, at all islam is spooky.
well, there are Iranians in Dubai, that do wear hijab, and they are not forced by the government.
No woman have right over there
@@segarinnajohnson4092 Bullshit.
All Time favorite Movie!!!!
Lol...all these years, me thinking that the title was "Not without my wife" 😄
Good movie and Sally field amazing actress LOVE her
Every woman should watch this movie once a year every year.
And this is why I will not marry these men. They may live in the US or Canada. But could have a family. I will not risk it, I am peaceful being single
lmao how often do you think something like this happens? Do you avoid flights because snakes might come out of the compartments because you saw it in a movie?
Dw they won’t marry u 😂
@@captainadventures how often? in canada alone there are three cases disclosed to the public and the lawyer holding the case said there are more like this.
A Muslim man just killed his daughter in Toronto. He was supposed to take her home but no he killed her. He is dead now because he was going to get life in prison and that just doesn't seem right.
@@captainadventures This was a true story it actually happened.
This film is even more relevant now than EVER!!!!!
I've watched this movie over 120 times to this day 6/9/2021 and the best of Sally Field..
I've watched it 41 times in total in 1.5 years. Love it
Just a trailer alone is heavy in my heart, 😭 so sad ..i want ro see this movie
"Whose only crime, is being Ameeericaaan!" :'D Can almost hear the producers evil laughter, as they pour gallons of fuel on the fire.
Jews
Be careful who you marry, no matter where you are.
Best movie ever!
Just found this on Hulu. Seems super relevant all of a sudden lol
This film is like my life and my children😭😭 Pray for us 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
?
ag Mora I will.
leave and tell no one i did it
@@millardthompson6844 just curious...why do beautiful white Christian women fall for backward muslim middle eastern men I mean these are not the 1980s the western world knows about middle eastern culture by now
@@MrPickledede Muslim men are not above lying to get their way and to get CONTROL of another human being.
It still happens today! My wife has a co-worker, she was married with an Iranian or Pakistani man. She returned to the US but without her sons.
You even dont know difference between Iran and pakistan😂they are totally two different country
@@yumyum9081 obviously different countries. But almost or same culture.
The trailer sent shivers down my spine my daughter is a similar age - harrowing😢
I will like to watch this movie again, where can I download it from. I'm in Nigeria, someone should please direct me, thank you
What’s terrible is Moody wrote a book and movie called “Without My Daughter.” He painted Betty terribly. What he left out was Betty had two minor children from a previous marriage in America at the time. The comments are terrible against Betty. Her other children aren’t mentioned in this movie either, but in her book, he’s basically holding her captive and making her choose between her kids. That’s cruel.
Its a shame that this movie only has 50% rotton tomatoes and that it bombed at the box office which was really disappointing since do get me wrong but I think this is one of Sally Field's best movie role with Alfred Molina. I watched this movie with my mom and she said its a really good movie so I watched it myself and she was not wrong, this film was a pretty good film and it's still up there in my top 50 favorite movies.
My mom told me about this movie, too - I remember her telling me about how terrifying Alfred Molina is in this movie. All the same, I'd love to see it someday!
Yes it's kind of stupid to say thay it's all lies. Cuz this is based on a true story
+Open Gates And in South Africa, Black Africans were referred to as kaffirs. In Arabic countries, unbelievers of islam are still called kaffirs. In Japan, non-Japanese people are called "gaijin". In Latin America, White, English-speaking people are called "gringos". Aborigines in Australia call White people "gubba". In China, White people are called "gweilo"--"ghosts". What's your point: That racism exists? Or are you saying that racism is solely an American trait?
It's a lie there's no truth
"True story" for the controversy and money.
This movie is really fake trust me.
Uh, no. The story is 100% true and her escape was incredible.
@@hosseinhafezi2649 It is true, you Muslim Apologist.
She was so brave
i was part of this movie when it was being filmed in Toronto on the docks, you wont see me but I was the Ferris wheel operator.
It's a nice book and very much inspiring, I like this book
Didcha read the burk?
Sally field was good in this movie I seen this a long long time ago
I remember watching that movie in 1991
I'm sure Hollywood does not want anybody to know this movie ever existed
What he did cannot be justified or excused. I keep thinking though, would he feel so strongly about his beliefs and nationality if they made him feel welcome and at home in the US?
This movie was awesome I was drinking a 12-pack of heineken beer and eating a pound of crawfish watching this
I remember this movie...Wow!
It almost feels like a trailer for Handmaid's Tale
I find many similarities between the Islamic Revolution in Iran and Handmaids tale. Women used to be free in Iran.
I love this film, but the trailer gets one thing wrong. Being American wasn't "their only crime". Their only crime was being women. All of the women were treated like Betty was. Being American was her salvation, because she was able to escape.
I've watched this movie over( 120) times to this day 6/9/2021 and the best of 🌿💚Sally Field💚🌿..
this is the best movies I ever seen ,
As she says in the movie Iran is such a primitive country, even today in 2023
Huuuh😂are you sure!? Iran is much better that advanced countries. Just it has some islamic rules if you do it you will enjoy there
May God bless u....
We don't care about politics We Love all beautiful Americans from Iran 🇮🇷❤️🇺🇸
Im not sure if you're irish, but you obviously havnt been to dublin, there is literally loads of muslims,, there is about 4 mosques alone in Dublin, And from what i'v whitnest i'v never had any problem with a muslim person, personally i think the majority of them are nice.
until you are in the family of a strict muslim and being a girl.. they will arrange your marriage and have to listen to what they say.. i live in a country with the biggest muslim population in the world. most people are nice, not everyone is strict or extremist, but almost all of them will require their people to marry people within the same religion or you have to change your religion and they will give you a muslim name in addition to your original name. Not until you are belong to the family that you will see the difference, the rules, etc. some of my muslim friends had arranged marriage. many are nice to people that are not from the same religion, but they have different views of how a woman should be in a family, always have to listen to or follow their husband, etc. It depends on you, if you have a free spirit,,that will be a problem. And yes the husband are allowed to have more than 1 wife and as a woman you have to respect the wish of your husband.
LionsDocus. Why don't you read the
" holy " Quran,read about Mohammad,how he gained power,read about his life and life STYLE !! NO ONE said all muslims are bad ! BUT Be assured that those muslims that live EXACTLY by the words of the Quran and Mohammad way of life,are NO INFIDELS Friend !!! YOU are an infidel in the end for ALL TRUE muslim
" believers " Now call me whatever you like but WE the West and the Middle East RARELY are a lasting or good match. I Don't hate anyone but some " cultures " are simply NOT COMPATIPLE with others ! ISLAM, REAL ISLAM, practiced verbatim as per Quran ?? 2020 ? READ about the ULTIMATE GOAL of Islam ! Quran will tell you ULTIMATE GOAL of Islam !
Read how many people in this world were " converted " by FORCE !
FYI Catholic Church did the Same !!
Convert,
Believe or DIE ! Religions are too often used as a political tool and feeble minded FOLLOWERS that BLINDLY Follow these " leader s "
have caused much MISERY in the name of A " God " ! I believe in a Higher power BUT would NEVER Believe, Any book or blindly Follow everything that stands written @ interpreted by Man.... MEN ! Now go and READ about how exactly a BEE HIVE is made up and functions ! Very interesting actually,perfection at it's very BEST ! What is missing to achieve this Perfection ? MAN ...
No males !! Bingo !!
@@GadisBaliLivesAbroad that's just culture
im a muslim and i love this movie, you cant hold religon responsible for this movie lol
No, but you can hold many of the people practicing said religion responsible. So many have messed up views of the originally-peaceful Muslim faith, but men, and their greed, have abused it. They have transformed areas of Islam into a faith of greed, violence, money and power. This film, and so many other true stories, prove this to be true.
No, you can't hold religion responsible, you CAN hold Islam, the dark age desert cult of death, responsible. Thank you
Amen! I won't discuss my religion and get slammed. But I agree
+IQ Islam breeds monsters. its in you, it will come out in the right situation.
+Celine A You do realize that Islam and Christianity come from the same culture basis, and the same region, with the same core beliefs and values right? And you do realize that the old testement is more bloody and gory then any verse of the Quran? I also see that it went way over your head that movies like these are created to brainwash easily influenced mindless, hateful human beings like you?
watched the trailer in class. I know this is a serious story, but the slap had me laughing hysterically. The sound effects and the exaggeration took me out
My knowledge of Alfred is the Perez Family.
Hate seeing him in this role.
But.
The story is true and must be told.
What a terrible place.
Great acting Sally and Alfred.
Sally spectacular.
Where can I see the movie, please
her husband was a terrible man in this film.
My favorite part is when she was all “dawg, you serious?” and he was like “yeh”
GOSTARIA MUITO QUE POSTASSE ESSE FILME EM PORTUGUÊS. FAZ MUITO TEMPO QUE EU ESPERO POR ISSO.
Optimus Prime narrates this trailer.
