Rio (2011)

Semi-amusing, one dimensional characters traipse about a brightly colored two-dimensional (yes, I opted out of the 3-D) world. Highly predictable plot, but that didn't really bother me.

What did bother me were the poop jokes, Jesse Eisenberg laying his "trying to be the adorable loser with a slight edge of assholishness" persona on distastefully thick (especially for a cartoon bird), and almost a total (predictable) lack of the favelas that make the real Rio de Janeiro what it is.

Overall: C- at best. If you really feel compelled to see it, wait for the rental.
