About
You might enjoy this if you want an ’80s vacation-set sex farce with taboo comedy, beachy escapism, and awkward misunderstandings; Not for you if you dislike sleazy humor or uncomfortable age-gap storylines like My Tutor.
Pros: lively Rio setting; a few big laughs; playful, breezy tone | Cons: uncomfortable premise; uneven acting; sleazy, dated humor
