"Blame It On Rio" is like taking a great vacation of fun, sun and no inhibitions. The setting is beautiful Rio de Janeiro and the film gives an honest impression of the city... beautiful beaches, Bossa Nova flavored music, tropical climate.
Michael Caine is hilarious, Joseph Bologna a perfect comical foil to Caine, Michelle Johnson sweet and innocent, and Demi Moore likable and levelheaded. Michael Caine and Joseph Bologna are a great battling comedy due. Michelle Johnson's acting was perfect for the part, so comments to the contrary are simply unfounded. Try to imagine the part being acted in any other fashion and nothing else fits. I think some reviewers believed she was just acting herself so didn't "see" the acting. But that simply reveals that she's a great actor.
Great aerial views of Rio de Janeiro, lively background music and many Brazilian cultural scenes and nuances make this a highly enjoyable movie. If you want fantastic scenery, some of the funniest lines in a comedy and a lot of laughs, this is the film for you.
Overall rating: 7 out of 10.
