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.

Rio is HOT, seems the yanks once they get over the shock of needing a visa think Rio is a cool place to visit. The film is typical of what Yanks think that Rio might be but is not a complete picture of Rio just a US reflection of Brazilian city. Rio has great beaches and a big statue of a very white Christ overlooking a very brown city. The film is OK and would be a better look than say Fast Five so my rating is more based on compared to what is out there go see this one. City of God the only South American film to break most top ten lists is a much better film but less realistic than this one of what a tourist may find in Rio. Rio is not that sexy as people think it is so damn hot, too hot for sex. The performances are solid from some great actors.
