Natale a Rio
Directed by Neri Parenti1h 50m2008
Fabio is in love with his colleague Linda, but she has never even seen him until he's mistaken for her boyfriend. Paolo and Mario leave for a luxurious vacation in Rio de Janeiro for Christmas, without knowing that their sons have booked a trip for the same low-cost destination and, for a problem of homonymy between fathers and sons, the two holidays are exchanged.
Our read: Natale a Rio (2008) reads as a cosy, kinetic, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, redemptive in outlook.
Cosy, kinetic, gentle comedy, grounded in texture. Redemptive, intimate, measured.
