It's like Meet the Fockers!
Except that it has blue macaws. And it is set in the Amazon. Also, this one's child-friendly. Confused?
Don't worry, there's enough stunningly choreographed song and dance to keep you distracted from that trivial little thing called a plot.
Sequel to 2011's surprisingly refreshing Rio, this one sees Blu (Jesse Eissenberg), Jewel (Anne Hathaway) and their three children taking a trip to the Amazon to help Linda (Leslie Mann) and Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro) locate a lost flock of the endangered Spix's Macaws, which they believe are hiding deep in the Amazon.
However, animals aren't the only thing Linda and Tulio come across.
An evil businessman is running an illegal logging operation in the protected forest area and he's not too keen on having a couple of "tree huggers" shaking things up. Will Blu and family get to them before its too late?
Deep in the heart of the Amazon, old friends are found... and so are old enemies.
It must be understood that films like Rio 2 are made simply because they can be made.
Since Rio was a hit and the franchise must be kept alive long enough to milk it for merchandise, Rio 2 has come into existence.
However, that doesn't necessarily imply that it is unwatchable. Quite the contrary, really.
Rio 2 features some lovely, complex animation and a vivid, cheerful colour palette.
The song and dance sequences might be a little too many in number but they are choreographed with more attention to detail than any shaadi song in a Karan Johar film. A refreshingly lighthearted cover of Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive, with aptly modified lyrics, is one of the musical bits to watch out for.
Nigel (Jemaine Clement), the conniving Cockatoo returns with company this time.
Charlie, a collard ant-eater is bullied into carrying out Nigel's nefarious schemes while a beautiful neon-pink spotted poison frog called Gabi (Kristen Chenoweth) tags along out of her love (read: chronic obsession)
