Mid-Life Crisis Madcap Madness!, 27 February 2003
Author: george.schmidt (george.schmidt@hbo.com) from fairview, nj

BLAME IT ON RIO (1984) **1/2 Michael Caine, Joseph Bologna, Valerie Harper, Michelle Johnson, Demi Moore. Occasionally funny screwball comedy with middle-age crises plagued Caine vacationing with pal Bologna in Rio de Janeiro with their teenage daughters, only for Caine to have an affair with his friend's buxom babe of a daughter (the gravity-defying Johnson) and later her declaration of love leading to all kinds of craziness. Funniest scene is of Caine and Bologna fighting in bed together. One-liner laden script by Larry Gelbart.
