The Worst Film Ever

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

How I disagree with "Embarrassing". This really is a fun movie with a great feel good factor, fairly unusual these days. The scenery is wonderful and the film quite clearly shows the generosity and friendliness of the Portuguese people. I watched this film surrounded by local Portuguese who laughed as much as I did. I thought the cast was excellent, though for my taste Oliver's wife was perhaps a little too "light". Manel was played brilliantly, not sure if this actor is a well known comic actor but hopefully he will do more in the future, he was a natural. Congratulations on receiving the Canadian award - the first of many I am sure.

Before seeing this movie as a screening in the Netherlands I heard it was a romantic comedy with a little bit of action in it and the first feature length movie of the director. And that's just what it is. A nice funny feel-good movie. It's about a London banker who is following his dream in the Algarve in Portugal after getting into a crisis. His dreams are being blocked by some investors, but with the help of some local people he fights back. The story is simple but solid. The plot is not too exciting. But right from the start you really get into it. The movie breathes the right atmosphere of the Algarve. You can feel the heat and the dryness of the surroundings. You can also identify with the main character who wants to start a new life without the complexities of the western world, but has to face the problems one meets when starting all over again in a new place. Ellie Chidzey is convincing as his wife Sally who is used to her luxurious lifestyle in London and can't let go of it. If you like romantic comedies and want to learn a lesson in the end, I can recommend this movie.

The movie is shot in the Algarve providing beautiful scenic shots and colors. It has constant humor with a former banker that is trying to cope with a different culture and others who are not. The tempo of the movie is relaxed and realistic. I think it really captures the real speed of life in that part of the word, adding to the realism of the movie. The story leaves enough room for interpretation to keep it interesting. It is not fully worked out in each detail, so it keeps you thinking although not in a disrupting way. So all in all a very beautiful and funny movie, specifically taking into account the budget that was available for it. Cudo's to all involved!

The Right Juice is one of those lighthearted films that leaves you happy and in awe of the scenery and the humanity. The subtile humor, the likability of the main characters and the beautiful Portugese landscape lifts your spirit and before you know it you are rooting for the good guys to really get Their Right Juice, as if they were your own personal friends. Lucia Moniz (from Love Actually) is again brilliant in whole heartedly inviting the audience to feel part of the heart of the story and Mark Killeen (Game of Thrones) is the perfect good looking intimidating guy yet his clumsiness into pursuing his hearts ambitions abroad make him human and approachable. We loved the friendship between Ollie and Manel! Go and see The Right Juice, perfect film for a first date, lifting your spirit, relaxing from stress or just to feel good and happy.
