Great movie idea and wonderful views of the marvelous city. Since I've been to Rio 15 times, just the movie name makes me homesick for the cariocas, samba, mulattas, chopps, and the beach.... Full review

A young Demi Moore is surprisingly good as Caines disapproving daughter.
Judging from the leaden pacing and the gratuitous topless shots
which sees Caine playing an ageing lothario who embarks on an affair with his best friends teenage daughter

A lot of skill has gone into the awkward subject matter of this movie, and it's thought-provoking that " Blame It On Rio " sometimes almost works.

All that stuff aside, here's what you need to know: This movie is not funny.
