It's all about the city

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2011)

I've never been to Rio or Brazil but this movie's graphics were so vibrant that I could feel the excitement of Carnival. Complete with the famous statue. I wonder what this movie would be like in 3D. The story was classic cute. Some may say too typical of a story that is over done but I guess I just enjoy these classics. Perhaps an avian version of 101 Dalmations. Of course the villain was worth hating and not as "fancy" or pretty as the hero/heroine. Anne Hathaway was so good that I could even picture her in the sound studio having a good time. I agree that Eisenberg will forever be known as Blu (whether his publicist markets that as good or bad is up to them). Jamie Foxx singing is the new Barry White. His voice for romantic tunes is melted butter. I didn't think I would enjoy this movie as much as I did. This is one of those movies that I will watch over and over again.
