"Rio, Eu Te Amo" is the third official entry in the "Cities Of Love" film franchise. It absolutely cannot stand to comparison with the nearly-excellent "Paris, Je T'Aime", but it may rank slightly higher than "New York, I Love You". Overall it feels kind of amateurish and randomly thrown-together, but there are a few distinctive episodes, like Stephan Elliott's offbeat tale about a famous Australian actor who decides, on impulse, to climb a "magic mountain" along with his "babysitter", or Nadine Labaki's cute yarn (with her and Harvey Keitel) about a boy who is waiting for a call from "Jesus". Some lush Rio scenery & music help. ** out of 4.
