all in all and do not expect much and you would not be disappoint . and if you want to see a movie that will take you back to 1983 and this will do that for sure . the only reason i give this movie 2 point more than it deserve be for 2 reason represent # 1 . michael caine # 2 . the people and the sight and the culture and the music of brazil the movie be almost completely carry by caine a he commit the seemingly impossible task of transform it into a viable and semi believable story . even joe bologna and valerie harper fall short . michael caine be pure class and a always . besides be a gifted classical and comic actor and caine bring a blend of introspection and mischievousness and sensitivity to every movie he do . the focus of his charm a far back a his role in alfie . and the reason why he win the academy award for hannah and her sister 2 year later . in this farce and he be tenderly beguile . funny and vulnerable . melancholy and sentimental . and besides the jewel that be rio de janeiro and the only reason to not seek out a good form of entertainment . well . maybe a glimpse at the 2 lovely young actress and michelle johnson and demi moore would be a reason . but look be all you can do at michelle ( though her look seem sorely date ) . there couldn not be a more painful movie experience than watch her try to act ( most of her dialogue seem overdubbed and too ) . demi act and look hold up 100 time well and you could easily transplant her and a be and into any movie today ( she doesn not really look much different to be honest ) . ms. moore be surely underused and especially consider she be the big star of the 2. save the fact that it be a silly farce and at the end and i actually kind of like the maturity with which all these people handle this scandalous situation . that it doesn not end friendship nor marriage and that an affair and even with the underage daughter of your best friend and could be forgive and everyone can move on . the injured party do show anger and disappointment at what transpire and but all work out for the best . a bit unrealistic for sure and but surprisingly refresh . hope always be .
