Offputting, even at times nasty.
A thin, cynical calculation.
Top CriticThis movie is clearly intended to appeal to the prurient interests of dirty old men of all ages.
Blame It on Rio is not simply humorless. It also spreads gloom.
Caine looks embarrassed through the entire film, as well he might.

I'd rather blame it on the screenplay.
