20th Century Fox has moved its April 2011 release back a week: “Rio” has been moved to April 15th, where it faces Scream 4 and Soul Surfer. The animated film centers on two rare macaws — the last of their kind — on an adventure in Brazil. Rio features the voices of Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, George Lopez, Jemaine Clement, Tracy Morgan, Leslie Mann, will.i.am, and Jamie Foxx.
RIO is a 3-D animation feature from the makers of the “Ice Age” films. Set in the magnificent city of Rio de Janeiro and the lush rainforest of Brazil, the comedy-adventure centers on Blu, a rare macaw who thinks he is the last of his kind. When Blu discovers there’s another – and that she’s a she – he leaves the comforts of his cage in small town Minnesota and heads to Rio. But it’s far from love at first sight between the domesticated and flight-challenged Blu and the fiercely independent, high-flying female, Jewel.
Unexpectedly thrown together, they embark on an adventure of a lifetime, where they learn about friendship, love, courage, and being open to life’s many wonders. RIO brings together a menagerie of vivid characters, a heart-warming story, colorful backdrops, energizing Latin and contemporary music, and family-friendly song and dance.
The Change-Up
Opens: August 5th 2011
Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Jason Bateman, Leslie Mann, Olivia Wilde
Director: David Dobkin
Summary: Two childhood friends have drifted apart – one an overworked lawyer with a family, the other a single and oft unemployed man-child. After a drunken night, they wake up having switched bodies and proceed to learn each other’s lives are nowhere near as rosy as they once seemed
Analysis: The old body swap trick has been a comedy staple for decades across films like both incarnations of “Freak Friday,” “Big,” “13 Going on 30,” “The Hot Chick” and “Dating the Enemy”. ‘Change-Up’ doesn’t sound like it will add anything new to the formula, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be an enjoyable spin on it right… right?
Helmed by David Dobkin (“Wedding Crashers,” “Shanghai Knights”) and penned by the duo behind the likes of “The Hangover” and “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past”, the idea of a slacker Reynolds and workaholic Bateman switching minds should yield a few laughs. Yet nothing else about the story is particularly exciting be it the baseball-themed minor subplot to “Tron” scene stealer Olivia Wilde as a co-worker love interest. (Source)
