Rio 2 | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Rio 2 may not bring a lot of originality to the screen, but it's a simple entertaining alternative to the movies the kids have already seen, and that might be just enough to turn a profit.

Colourful and well-paced except for a cloyingly sweet song or two, the kids will enjoy this one.

A lot of jumping between subplots, combined with the familiar approach, means Rio 2 fails to reach the great heights of the original.

Director Carlos Saldanha's love for his native Rio shines through, but that's not quite enough to save the messy, sprawling story.

Thoroughly mediocre.
