Rio 2
The voices behind Blue Sky Studio's original animated family adventure Rio return as Jewel (Anne Hathaway), Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) and their three kids are hurtled from their domesticated life to the wilds of the Amazon. As Blu tries to make the most of his new jungle surroundings, he goes beak-to-beak with the vengeful Nigel (Flight of the Conchords' Jemaine Clement) and his most fearsome adversary of all – his father-in-law.

Reviews & comments
Total Film
pressThe predictable plot gets an enjoyably venomous boost from Jemaine Clement’s revenge-obsessed cockatoo Nigel.
The Guardian
pressIt's hard to ascribe much art or wit to a franchise that retains the services of will.i.am as comic relief.
Empire Magazine
pressA very unfocused, sporadically funny film, lifted by its (predictable) visual splendour.
Rio 2 is great for the kids. Was nice to have familiar characters that the kids new. My daughter loved it, not as much as the first but you get that with kids. Personally, I would have rather spent the night being hunted by a murderous motor cycle gang. But each to their own. A 'think of the children' 3/5 from me.
