    A good movie for the family. The plot is fairly predictable and not original by any stretch of the imagination. It's basically a boy meets girl romantic comedy. However the characters are very likable and the voice over work is well done. The locale of Rio for the story is exotic and a definite plus for the movie. It's not on par with the Pixar movies, but the kids will enjoy it nevertheless. The 3D does not really add anything to the movie, so save your money.

    A nice little movie, I am not usually into animated movies so much, but this one was worth watching at least once in my adult world. I've left childhood behind pretty much and it's hard to recapture it
