''O Candidato Honesto'' (translation: "The Honest Candidate") is a 2014 Brazilian comedy film, starred by Leandro Hassum as the title character João Ernesto Ribamar, a seemingly admirable candidate with a heroic career, having endured the dorught and worked to provide for his ill grandmother from an ealry age, and leading a bus drivers' strike which conquered working rights, but on the inside, he's just as much of a CorruptPolitician as any others. On the run to become the next President of Brazil, things take a turn when his dying grandma makes one last request which becomes a DyingCurse: Wishing him to be honest. As a result, he becomes [[CannotTellALie incapable of lying]] or doing enything dishonest, which becomes a huge problem as an impending debate is about to decided the second ballot, and he needs to solve his situation before he spills the beans about his involvement with corruption among other embarrassing things, and in the process, he starts reanalyzing his actions and legacy in politics.

The movie was a huge success, thanks in no small part to comedian Leandro Hassum as the protagonist, although some critics panned the humour as typical standard Globo Filmes comedy.
It had a sequel, ''O Candidato Honesto'', realeased in 2018.
!!This movie provides examples of:
* CannotTellALie: What kickstarts the plot.
* DyingCurse: Subverted. João believes his grandmother cursed him with her dying wish, but when he contacts her spirit, she admits to not having such a power, and deduces this is all his conscience tormenting him.
