Welcome to the most exciting and sensual city in the world...Rio de Janeiro! The "ultimate naughtiness" (Vogue) of Brazil's hottest town is captured in this "wild and wacky, zany screwball romantic comedy" (Los Angeles Magazine) with a red-hot cast that includes Michael Caine (The Cider House Rules), Joseph Bologna (Big Daddy), Michelle Johnson (The Glimmer Man) and Demi Moore) (Ghost). Upon arriving in exotic Rio, long-time friends Matthew (Caine) and Victor (Bologna) and their teenage daughters (Moore and Johnson) barely unpack before this infamous pleasure spot begins to cast its torrid spell. Matthew quickly succumbs to Cupid's arrow, but when guilt gets the better of this married man, he vows to end the affair and keep it a secret...even from Victor. But as his white lies grow, so does his libido, and Matthew continues his indiscretions...until his wife shows up!
"A top-notch comedy...a very funny movie!" Los Angeles Magazine
Editor's Note
A much-planned two-family vacation to Rio begins with disaster as one husband, Victor (Joseph Bologna), deals with divorce papers while Matthew's (Michael Caine) wife decides to vacation alone somewhere else instead, leaving the two men on vacation with only their charming and adventurous teenage daughters. Confronted by so much bare young skin, confused about the state of his marriage, and swept up in the moment, Matthew lets Victor's daughter, Jennifer (Michelle Johnson), seduce him on the beach. But Jennifer's constant declarations of love and lust make keeping the affair from Victor difficult and twists Matthew into guilty knots. The surprise appearance of Matthew's wife (Valerie Harper, magnificent in a rage) reveals another hidden affair and unravels the romantic web crisscrossing between the families.
Plot Summary
An unraveling marriage and the exotic carelessness of Rio encourages bumbling, middle-aged Matthew (touchingly played by Michael Caine) to take another grasp at life and allow his best friend's teenage daughter, Jennifer, to seduce him on the beach. But with his best friend in the next room and his own daughter (young but husky-voiced Demi Moore) bunking with Jennifer, how long can Matthew keep the affair a secret?
