Reichlich verliebt

"Ricos de Amor" charms, colored a bit different, in a classic romantic comedy setting with a very vibrant Brazil in the background. With the chemistry between leads Danilo Mesquita and Giovanna Lancellotti, this film lights up the screen with great energy. The light-hearted take on themes like love, privilege, and self-discovery furnishes some heartwarming moments. However, the plot is very predictable and draws on the typical clichés of rom-coms. This might make it feel formulaic. Tertiaries and secondary subplots often remain paper-thin, and their lack of dimension influences the impact in general. With "Ricos de Amor," the creators have had some success in light entertainment and attractive venues, but still, there is nothing of novelty or something forever remaining in viewers' minds about this genre.

If you want an extraterrestrial romance with mutants, full of suspense and drama, gay scenes, bad endings, know that this is not the type of film. This is a very well directed film, with a well-structured plot, beautiful landscapes, a cute and current romance, a beautiful touch of innovation on the prince's side, contrasting little-explored scenarios in the interior of Rio de Janeiro. A film that makes us smile and makes our day lighter. The first thing that makes me think when I see the negative reviews, are the envy of those who are not happy with a hetero couple and so many happy endings ...

The story is exactly like many other similar plotted films, the one I know dated back to 1958, an Indian Tamil-language comedy film "Sabaash Meena" - Same carefree rich hero avoiding responsibilities, get away from his dad, goes after his love as a poor family guy, swap his poor background friend in his place, confusions in climax etc, etc.. But coming to the execution, this movie did mostly same as others, but messed it up in climax... why the rush? what convinced the female lead character to forgive the male lead character? It would have taken another 5 minutes of the movie to show some scenes for the hero to convince his lover to get her back, but the movie ended abruptly without caring to tell audience why she was convinced to get back with the male lead.

The movie had fun moments, good acting, familiar story line, but with unconvincing finish.

Good film, initial scenes filmed right here, in Paty do Alferes, during the Tomato Festival, which wrongly and grossly added a sinful war of tomatoes, which does not exist and is very sad because of the waste ... The story is silly, but cute, the exchange scenes are disrupted and therefore fun, nice to watch ... I loved the "Ceiling Fresco" project, it could be real ..

There must be hundreds of movies like this one. The acting is good and the movie is well produced but it lacks that bit of originality to make it stand out.
