 Girl From Rio May 27, 2008
This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
The only good thing about it was Vanessa Nunes. (Beautiful woman!)
Otherwise, awful acting, awful composition, awful directing and so on.
Just plain embarassing.
With good direction, it could have had potential.
Try "Woman On Top" with Penelope Cruz. Not that it was a "great movie"
but it was sensual, loaded with great Bossa Nova music
(no Bossa Nova in "Girl from Rio") and lots of beautiful Penelope. Kinda strange
but compelling.
 Interviews are Great January 20, 2008
I bought this movie hoping for a great romantic comedy featuring Hugh Laurie. Okay, so this wasn't it--plus it was a copy from a VHS tape and the quality was not high. It's worth borrowing from a library or renting but not buying. I enjoyed watching Laurie and Nunes (pleasant personalities and both very attractive) and the samba was great fun. But all in all very "lite." The two engaging interviews with the leads tells you what a super film this might have been with a stronger script. Even romantic comedy needs to take it's story seriously enough to make you really care about the characters.
 What a sweet movie! October 14, 2007
I purchased this movie cause I am Hugh Laurie fan. And I was delightfully suprised. When I saw Hugh dancing samba, he just took my breath away! He was so sexy. The whole story was fun, sweet and surprising. If you like Hugh Laurie, Vanessa Nunes and/or samba you musn't miss the opportunity to have this movie.

While the movie itself was a little hokey, Hugh Laurie was delightful in his leading role of the banker flying to Rio to meet his "dream samba girl."

Fun, Hugh Laurie is very good as expected. Rio is so beautiful and her SAMBA is great.
