Riche en amour

Very attractive cast in this Brazilian romantic comedy where the tomatoe prince meets an up and coming medical school student.

Teto has a playboy reputation and he ends up making a bet with his best friend Igor, who happens to be the grounds keeper's son. The bet involves them swapping identities as they compete on an internship for a position in Teto's family's Tomato empire. Along the way Teto meets and falls for the lovely aspiring doctor Paula, who is being sexually harassed at work at the hospital. After the first day, Teto realizes that he is in way over his head and so he seeks out Monique, who has just been fired from the company for help.

The film starts out a little rough, really hits its romantic comedy stride in the middle and then is wrapped up really quickly in a "ta da" moment where everyone in the favela is growing organic tomatoes on their rooftops for money. The cast is lovely and the romantic leads do seem to have chemistry. I enjoyed a couple songs on the soundtrack...including Teto's fireside serenade.

This is a light recommendation for romantics...certainly not high on this list, but if you have run out of romantic material and you have gone through your rewatches, then maybe?

The big surprise for me was the actress Lellê who played Monique...she was lovely and did a wonderfully natural job in her role.

Review was based on watching the film in it's original Portuguese language with English subtitles.

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.

Ricos del amor: this is very typical rom com story such what we can see locally I our Greek TV since the 60s.

This goes one step further.

A typical rich teenager who lived offering the good party with 'chicks' and now in the time to better manage his life. In a tomato party he falls in love with a nice and more mature girl and lives a new romantic life with her until something happens and everything turns up to down after something compulsive His closest friend a poor guy adds ice to the story as co-actor.

I was very much impressed with this movie 8.5/10 Part of the rating goes to the excellent landscapes th good 'filming' and the high very high resolution 4K! (the 2 points belong to them).

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 ..

Beautiful pictures, good music, the actors are also very beautiful! Attractive movie content with humor! This is the best romance movie of 2020
