We took the grandsons to see "Rio" today. Even though it was a matinee, tickets and concession was $54.18. We made a MAJOR investment. When I have this experience, I realize how times have changed. And the industry wonders why families don't go to the movies as much anymore!
The movie is by the same folks that bring us "Ice Age" and the quality matches. The story was sort of typical Hollywood (duck out of water/ stranger in a strange land) but the fun is in the doing. With the voices of Ann Hathaway, Jesse Eisenberg, George Lopez, wil.i.am, Jamie Fox, Jamie Fox and Tracy Morgan, the story fit the actor's personalities. As usual the graphics were tremendous and this movie infused Salsa music and the feeling of a musical at times.
A lot of fun and even the boys liked it!
I give it ****stars for music and visuals and *** stars as a movie.
