The Right Juice (2014)

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The first must-see film of the year.

I loved this movie! It was clever and funny and sweet. The setting was so beautiful! We had never considered visiting Portugal but we think we will start planning a trip! The film has a positive environmental message without being heavy handed. Loved the message that it's never too late to start over - And follow your dreams! This film won an award at the Edmonton International Film Festival. Well deserved! I think it will win many more awards. It was very well received here and the director told us lots of funny stories afterwards. His passion for Portugal and the Algarve was inspiring. It's a fun movie, beautifully filmed, with a great message. What more can we ask in a film? We were a group of four and everyone enjoyed the film.

If you are a shallow viewer than you will see a film about some poor farmers who are forced to sell their land to a rich real estate developer who wants to turn it into something really commercial. A story that already has been told a 1000 times.But if you are a sharp viewer you will see a fantastic movie about the difference being happy or having a lot of possessions. It is a comedy but it really made me think about the things that are important in my life. It is a nice movie to watch with your lover an talk about the things you enjoy in live. So i say 9 points for this think about yourself comedy.

I've experienced The Right Juice as a movie that makes you connect to the characters and makes you smile. As usually typical for movies that are made in France, Italy, Spain and Portugal you relate to the characters.This movie brings you exactly that! This is beautifully supported by the way the scenes are shot. The location is typical Algarve and the Portuguese characters are real, not stereotyped.I believe this movie was not shot with a large budget and that makes it even more an achievement of this production team. I am looking forward to see more of this director and see what more he can do with more budget.This all underlines the passion of all the people involved in this project to make this movie as it is now, a warm movie.

A sincere, light footed funny and visually enticing movie. I came to the movie theatre with a slight fear in my heart for I often find the genre comedy abused by directors who seem to have a 'x jokes per minute quota'. Do they, I wonder. I loved the subtlety of the jokes, and sincerity of the story. Recognizable and therefore credible characters, make for a charming story. Though I must say that the protagonist is a a bit of a blue eyed boy scout and his nemesis is very clearly the bad guy..but then again, they seem to have opposite views of life so it might be befitting. The directors apparent knowledge and love for the Algarve region shines trough the scenes and is highly contagious. The music was very much in tune with the story and helped introducing the Algarve and its inhabitants to the viewer. I've never been there but now it feels as if I have. Enjoyed it thoroughly.
