The main story has Blu and his family learning of the possible existence of a flock of other wild blue macaws in the Amazon rainforest. Instead, it - pardon the pun - pigeonholes returnees Rafael (George Lopez), Nico (Jamie Foxx), Pedro (Will.i.am), and Luiz (Tracy Morgan) from the first film in a subplot that has almost nothing to do with the main action. The real problem is it tries to shoehorn in pretty much all of the characters from the first "Rio" in 2011 into this film, which should really only have featured Blu (Eisenberg), Jewel (Anne Hathaway), and their family of three blue macaw chicks. I just found the whole thing tedious with a capital "T." This is an overstuffed, deeply padded film that sorely lacks drive and urgency. The third being a tiresome main plot and multiple subplots that all cram obvious messages of environmental conservation, endangered species protection, and family togetherness down the throats of young and old. The second is the voice and mannerisms of Jesse Eisenberg, who even as a wild blue macaw form comes off as the stiffest, most awkward white boy in the world. OUR TAKE: 4 out of 10 How much you enjoy "Rio 2" will depend on how high your threshold is for numerous things, the first being 90+ minutes of manic, animated action involving singing, rapping, dancing, prancing, and auto-tuned birds.

And unbeknownst to Blu, he is being hunted by Nigel (voice of JEMAINE CLEMENT), the evil, Shakespearean-quoting cockatoo from the first film who blames him for his clipped wings and permanently grounded life. Blu tries to fit in, but the flock or tribe as they call themselves laugh at his pitiful survival skills and scoff at him when they learn he used to be a human's pet. Once there, Jewel is reunited with her loved ones feared dead a long time ago, including: her father, Eduardo (voice of ANDY GARCIA) her Aunt Mimi (voice of RITA MORENO) and her old childhood crush, the seemingly perfect Roberto (voice of BRUNO MARS). Fortunately, bird characters Rafael (voice of GEORGE LOPEZ), Nico (voice of JAMIE FOXX), and Pedro (voice of WILL.i.AM) from the first film tag along to make sure they survive in the wilds and to audition new talent for their Carnival concert.

One day while watching TV at their Brazilian nature preserve, they spot Blu's old owner, Linda (voice of LESLIE MANN), and her boyfriend Tulio (voice of RODRIGO SANTORO) touting the possible discovery of a whole flock of wild blue macaws deep in the Amazon.īlu and his family decide to go check it out for themselves, unaware that part of the rainforest is threatened by a cabal of evil land developers under the command of the Big Boss (voice of MIGUEL FERRER). PLOT: Since the first "Rio," rare birds Blu (voice of JESSE EISENBERG) and Jewel (voice of ANNE HATHAWAY) have had gotten married and had three kids. QUICK TAKE: Animated Action/Comedy: Blu, Jewel, and their kids learn they are not the only birds of their kind when they travel deep into the Amazon and come into conflict with evil developers, a vengeful cockatoo, and Jewel's long-lost father.
