"In "Ricos de Amor," filmmaker Bruno Garotti (of the delightful "Cinderela Pop") followed the term "romantic comedy" to a tee. After all, in the story starring Giovanna Lancellotti ("Eu Sou Mais Eu") and Danilo Mesquita (from the novela "Segundo Sol"), there are practically two stories. On one side, there is the beaten romance between the two protagonists, who experience the hardships of being from different worlds. He is rich and carefree. She likes simple things. That's why the guy ends up lying about his identity to himself off as someone poor and from a humble family. On the other side, from this exchange of identities, the classic confusions of a situation comedy arise. Characters entering new roles, pretending to be someone they are not. The apex happens with Marcos Oliveira (the eternal Beiçola from "A Grande Família"), which draws laughs. And thus, "Ricos de Amor" works well as a romantic movie, for those who want to fall in love again with unlikely couples like those from "Uma Linda Mulher" and "Podres de Ricos," and still have fun with a comedy in the style of those late-night specials on Globo. It's for everyone's taste."
