Rich in Love

"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.
