This attempt to remake the clever 1977 French farce Un moment DEgarement stars fifty-film-a-year man Michael Caine as a executive who, together with friend Joseph Bologna, travels to Rio de Janeiro on business. Bologna sets out on the town in search of a lambada partner, leaving Caine to fend for himself against his friends over-sexed teenage daughter (Michelle Johnson) whos come along for the ride. Soon, Caine succumbs to her advances, despite his efforts to break off the affair, and finds himself a repeated statutory rapist, at least by American legal standards. The script plays out like an extended version of Threes Company, with lots of near-misses and dumb-dumb humor; critics aptly noticed Caines apparent discomfort throughout the film. Still, the breathtaking backdrops of Rio alone make the film worth watching. Certainly, Blame It on Rio falls short of equaling its inspiration. ~ Jeremy Beday, All Movie Guide
