Genre: Comedy
Tagline: Have you ever dreamt of escaping to a land where the sun, sea sand and most of all Samba dancing is in everyone's prime lifestyle? Raymond has!
Plot: British character actor Hugh Laurie stars in the improbable romantic comedy GIRL FROM RIO. Raymond (Laurie) is a bank clerk with a secret passion for samba. When he discovers his wife having an affair with his slimy boss, Raymond snaps and steals a hefty sum of cash from the bank, using it to fund a quick trip to Rio de Janeiro where he hopes to find Samba Monthly covergirl Orlinda (Brazilian model Vanessa Nunes). Upon his arrival, he falls in with scheming cab driver Paulo, who while agreeing to assist Raymond in his hunt, also has his eyes on the small fortune Raymond carries with him. While Raymond may be after one person in all of Rio, soon almost everyone in Rio is after him--or rather, what he carries with him.
