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.

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!

Along with other sexy comedies from the 80's this was one that showed lots of skin from one of the leading actress's, however it was disappointing not to see more of Demi Moore....

I guess it depends on your opinion of what's funny and what should not be made fun of. The premise of this movie is were the problem starts, two fathers, with two underage teenage daughters, go to Brazil were nude/topless beaches abound. Bad idea? Ya, I'd say, especially when the fathers are on a topless beach drooling at the young nubile beach bunnies making lewd remarks to each other and in the next second their daughters are coming towards them on this topless beach, and for a second they don't recognize them and start to make a comment to each other, then recognition slowly shows on their faces and the fathers eyes pop out at their boobs, (this was pre-op for Demi so her goods were flat but the other girl looked very healthy) and a very uncomfortable 30 seconds slowly passes. In another scene, after Michael Cain boinks his best friends daughter, she, being a teenager (and under age) moons over him and becomes, depressed so her father decides to hunt down the "creep" who made his little princess so unhappy, in this scene she actually gets into bed with her father, she's topless by the way. Like I said, creepy to the point of being perverse. This stuff does not a comedy make.
