Beautifully filmed and poignantly funny. Well written and cast. Spent a very nice evening at home in the Alentejo watching this delightful film. Believable narrative which explores the many facets of life, not just in the Algarve but the wider field of Ex-pats who come here and wish to do something, usually with the best of intentions. Everything is in there, the hapless Brit, his sniffy girlfriend, the slightly roguish local and the usual bent official. The best part as always the Mr Nasty and his henchman. Even the little bit of Spiritual comes over subtly while the neighbors look to have thrown in the towel...We have all been there, not quite got the T-Shirt - YET! Congratulations to the entire crew for producing this... Best of luck with your future ventures

Where do I start? Well, I have lived in the Algarve for nearly eighteen years and so I was looking for a film that did show something of the life here, I was not disappointed! I loved the portrayal of the local people in the film, really showed the humour of the Portuguese people and the good thing is I think they will find this film very funny too, well, the people sat in the cinema with me were Portuguese and laughed as much as I did. There were some very poignant moments which brought a lump to my throat but at the end of the film I came out thinking what a great all round film it was. The casting was very good and Selenor was so like my very philosophical neighbour who farms goats. Congratulations to all involved, wishing you all the best when it is released globally!

I just saw this film yesterday and I must say it was wonderful. I have visited the Algarve in Portugal several times, and I must saw first of, that the wipe in the film was just as I remember from my stay in the Algarve. The story was sweet and well acted and I especially loved Miguel Damião playing the helpful neighbor. Just so funny, in fact there were just so many lovable and funny moments in this romantic comedy from Portugal that I can fully recommend it to everyone who wants to feel happy and just have a nice time with a great little flick.The story is about this out of luck banker from London, very well played by Mark Killeen (although are little butch –But I guess that was for his Game of Thrones appearance), who makes a fresh start in the Algarve. And If you have ever been to Portugal and especially the Algarve you just know how wonderful and helpful the Portuguese are. Therefore Oliver (Mark Killeen) and his neighbor Manel, played really well by Portuguese actor Miguel Damião appear in all of these well known Portuguese situations, which Oliver handles in sometimes very misplaced ways, so funny, and sweet at the same time.

The right juice easily absorbs you into the story of a broke banker, who tries to start up a new life in the Algarve country side. In the beginning the movie is funny and light. The story seems to be predictable but is not actually. At the end of the movie you will find the true meaning of The Right Juice. Wonderful movie that makes you feel good but with a surprising ending, that makes you wonder about your own meaning in life. Loved the characters. Great cast in a beautiful Portugese ambiance. First thing I did after the movie, was ordering the t-shirt at www.therightjuice.net. It will be my motto from now on.
