Movie Review: Rio


Brief Summary - One day, somewhere in the Amazon a bird poacher steals a baby Macaw, one short plane ride later and he ends up in Moose Lake, Minnesota. Linda finds the parrot names him Blu and they become best friends.Enter random bird specialist... he invites them to Brazil and offers Blu an opportunity to meet a female Macaw in order to save their species. Once they get to Rio, of course all hell breaks loose and a musical adventure ensues.

Rating - On a scale of 1 to 10 [10 being the highest] this colorful cartoon like flick gets a 6.8

Movie Strengths - Catchy musical moments

Movie Weaknesses - not enough laughs...George Lopez,Jamie Fox and Tracy Morgan were rather subdued :(

Final Thoughts - This film is a kid-pleaser even for those of us who are young at heart!
