Blame It on Rio
She's the hottest thing on the beach. She's also his best friend's daughter!
Directed by Stanley Donen
Produced by Sherwood, 20th Century Fox
A sex comedy built on the premise of an adult man's affair with an underage girl, played for laughs despite the deeply troubling subject matter.
Matthew Hollis is man on holiday in Rio with his best friend. Both men have teenage daughters with them. When Matthew falls for his best friend's amorous daughter named Jennifer, they embark on a secret, if slightly one-sided relationship. Jennifer's father is furious when he finds out about the 'older man' in his daughter's life, and sets out to hunt him down with the aid of Matthew!
