Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Hunky Stud It is rare that you see a film that is based in a brazil city. Just that alone makes this film very unique. And the people in it came from different parts of the world, that is also refreshing to watch. some of the actors are related in real life.It is almost like a socialist film, because it showed you that in Rio, rich people live at nice places, poor people have to work as maids, live in ghettos.It has some funny moments. It looks authentic to me, that is probably how people live in brazil. I also just enjoyed looking at those buildings, beaches, etc. It is better than a regular travel show.

flashdcash I enjoyed it a lot because I was moved and it captured some of the madness, the warmth, the dignity and of course the sexiness of Rio. The characters were well acted, the humour was effortlessly funny and there is a storyline. However, you have to to pay attention to follow the cuts between story lines, it's a one bottle job not two. There was no dark side in this film, it capitalises on the positive qualities of Rio - after all it is a comedy. Couldn't help feeling there is kind of lazy morality about showing gun toting teenagers as defenders of the peace - how do you know that? There is no mention of the police and their role. There is a lot of travelogue and middle aged angst, maybe that's partly why i enjoyed it. Be warned if you are younger and/or haven't been to Rio give it a miss. If you aren't - watch it then go to the Rio!

iford2 Initially I thought this movie would be just as the title described A Rio Sex Comedy. Unfotunately I found it to rarely be funny, and mostly confusing because there are several stories that are simultaneously going on and none have been given an honest amount of time to develop, if they develop at all. Most frustrating to me was the pseudo-documentary about the plight of domestic workers, that didn't go anywhere. Yes people had sex in the movie but it was rarely comedic, and could have been left out completely. If you want to enjoy the movie, don't rent it, just watch the Trailer again and again...its just as entertaining.

rubstrol I know it's a cliché to review a film and state that it is so bad that you will regret the fact that you'll never get that hour and a half that you sat through it back,but in this case it is the painful truth.A single word to describe this film is:Annoying.Most of the time you don't know what the f... is going on and is really hard to care about any of the characters.Also the fact that it keeps switching languages,Portuguese,French,English,Native Brazilian Indian.The gratuitous nudity is exasperating.It's patronising in relation to the poor of Brazil and downright boring.The only good moment is when it ends and I don't mean the ending I mean the very end when the screen goes blank.The reviews that you can read above where obviously planted by the director or his mum.Trust me,this film is s..t,don't waste your time.It's c...p.It actually made me angry.You been warned.
