I had great expectations when I went to this movie with my friends yesterday. We all live in the Algarve and we all agreed after watching the movie that the whole story was just embarrassing. The Portuguese people or the Brits are not this stupid. I cannot understand how the film maker also could ignore the beauty of the Algarve and make most of the film in an environment that is not at all typical for the Algarve. And the cast was very mediocre. I had read reviews on this film in local papers and on the internet and just could not believe that it was that same movie that I watched yesterday. I had looked forward to recommend this film to friends, but I definitely will not. Sorry. Maybe I had looked forward to something similar to One Year, with Russel Crowe, a movie that makes you want to move to the country where the story is told. I hope that most people who watch The Right Juice have been to the Algarve and only see this movie as something that is just a mistake, and knows that Portugal/Algarve is fantastic (and that the people do not drink Medronho all the time.)
