Summary: The makers of Ice Age have decided to go tropical for their newest adventure. Blu (Eisenberg) is a rare macaw who unexpectedly ends up in Moose Lake Minnesota. There he is adopted by Linda (Mann) and the two become best friends. One day an ornithological expert named Tulio (Santoro) comes to Minnesota to visit Blu. Tulio tries to convince Linda to take Blu down to Rio De Janeiro to meet Jewel (Hathaway), the last of their kind. But while in Rio the two birds get kidnapped by smugglers and have to figure out a way to get back to Tulio and Linda. Along the way Blu and Jewel meet many colorful characters and Blu finally gets in touch with his roots.
I really enjoyed this movie. It’s probably because I love animals or that I’m really a big kid at heart. Either way, I found myself dancing in my seat along with the other kids. With catchy tunes and bright colorful characters, it’s hard not to get into it. Jesse Eisenberg and Anne Hathaway had great chemistry and the supporting cast was funny and cute.
Rated: PG – For mild off-color humor
