Rio (2011): When Blu, a domesticated macaw from small-town Minnesota, meets the fiercely independent Jewel, he takes off on an adventure to Rio de Janeiro with this bird of his dreams. (7.0)
Director: Carlos Saldanha
Writers: Carlos Saldanha (story), Earl Richey Jones (story)
Stars: Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway and George Lopez
Colorful and great animation. The birds-eye view of Rio de Janeiro scenes are quite breathtaking. But the story and the dialog leaves a lot to be desired. Finding Nemo, this isn't; it could very well have been had the screenplay been done correctly. Not a whole lot for the grown-ups in the audience. My Rating: 6.0
