Blame It On Rio (1984)

Welcome to the most exciting and sensual city in the world Rio de Janeiro! The "ultimate naughtiness" (Vogue) of Brazil's hottest town is captured in this "wild and wacky, zany screwball romantic comedy" (Los Angeles) with a red-hot cast that includes Michael Caine (The Cider HouseRules), Joseph Bologna (Big Daddy), Michelle Johnson (The Glimmer Man) and Demi Moore (Ghost).Upon arriving in exotic Rio, longtime friends Matthew (Caine) and Victor (Bologna) and their teenage daughters (Moore & Johnson) barely unpack before this infamous pleasure spot begins to cast its torrid spell. Matthew quickly succumbs to Cupid's arrow, but when guilt gets the better of this married man, he vows to end the affair and keep it a secret even from Victor. But as his white lies grow, so does his libido, and Matthew continues his indiscretions until his wife shows up!

hmmm..

Three stars go toward the movie being really funny, but then its subject matter is a bit actually more than a bit disgusting! November 10, 2008

Blame it on Rio

It is hillarious. We saw it years ago and it is as funny as we remembered. We just loved Michael Caine and Joseph Bolonga. Their walk on the beach was great. September 20, 2008

Fun 80's Flick

Matthew (Michael Caine) and Victor (Joseph Bologna) are two middle aged pals who take their teen daughters, Jenifer (Michelle Johnson) and Nicky (Demi Moore), on a vacation to Rio. Matthew's wife (Valerie Harper), apparently having doubts about their marriage, insists on vacationing by herself. Matthew ends up being seduced by Jenifer and the rest of film flows from there.

This is actually a very well made movie for this type of screwball comedy, with excellent acting by Caine and some clever dialogue. The setting in Rio is extraordinarily colorful and sensual, with the whole city seemingly one non-stop party. It also harkens back to the "anything goes" spirit of the 70's-early 80's with it's sexually controversial subject matter. This is the type of movie that couldn't get made by a major studio nowadays because of political correctnes. It's a fun movie from a different era and one well worth watching. September 19, 2008

Blame it on the exotic atmosphere of Rio!

Firstly, I am a Micheal Caine fan, he gives his best performence in almost very film he has worked in. Some years ago, in about 2003, I saw this film 'Blame it on Rio' on the channel 'Cine World'. What overwhelmed me the most was the wonderfull scenario of Rio de Jenairo. I loved almost every scenery and locations in Rio. Micheal Caine as usual gives his best performence, Demi Moore also plays the wise daughter who is aware of her father's actions. Michelle Johnson did very good as well and so did Joseph Ballonga, Valerie Harper and the Portugese man. Good chemistry between each charecter. wonderfull locations and interesting music, music that makes you relax and makes you feel as if you are on a vacation yourself. The film had it emotional moments and mostly its funny moments. If you love classics, wonderfull Scenario's and specially Rio, you wont be dissapointed. Ever since the first day I came across this movie on tv, I had always wanted it on DVD. Thank you Amazon.com once again! May 3, 2008
