    Rio - Really enjoyed it, but don't recommend for children under 10.

    I really enjoyed this movie. It was funny and entertaining. I took my two young daughters and they enjoyed it as well. However, I am a very conservative Mom and for you other conservative parents out there, there were 3 things that were in this movie that will keep me from buying it:

    1. The intense focus on the birds being romantic. In my opinion it's too much lovin' for elementary age children.
    2. The repeated jokes of men in drag. It's funny, but I don't like the message it's sending.
    3. The short scene of the birds in the underground dance/rave party. I do not want my children to think that this kind of fun they should be looking for.

    Some people may deem these minor or picky, but I am very sensitive to the messages my young girls receive regarding love, sex, drugs or partying. I hope this review helps any other conservative parents and for those who are more liberal I do not mean to offend. These are just my personal preferences.

    A Jewel of a movie, a treat for the whole family!

    I can't write enough good things about this movie, it was sweet, it was laugh out loud funny and it had shake your booty, dance in your chair, bob your head to the beat music that makes me want to download the whole soundtrack!

    The movie had a very natural feel to it, the humor was right on and not forced laughs and everyone will get something different out of the jokes without cringing in embarrassment and hoping your kid didn't understand that (if you're a parent you know what I'm talking about!) So much fun! Really thinking about going to watch it again, enjoy!

    Good for the Family!!!

    The movie was very good for a family movie! The voice acting was very good, and fit all of the characters perfectly. Some scenes were pretty funny, but are sometimes not suitable for children. The supporting characters were actually a bit of a drawback... Some of them, like George Lopez's character, you just wanted to tell it to just be quite and stop talking, while the some main characters, like Jessie's, were rather pathetic. The plot was actually okay, but lacked much to give for the adults, leaving them a bit bored and tired. The musical scores were very good... even if it had will.i.am. Thought it blended well with some scenes. The ending was paced too fast for my taste. Will there be a sequel? I hope not... Another sequel would actually ruin the magic for the first one. Worth the watch. ;)

    Bursting with color and rippling with samba rhythms, Rio makes you wonder why...

    Rio is the biggest and brightest animated triumph since "Toy Story 3."

    This animated feature effort is a significant step forward from the studio's...
