Why watch this film?
This is the second romantic comedy starring Christina Milian that has a Netflix original production label -- after all, she also starred in the 2019 movie 'Love and a Lodge'. 'Resort to Love' tells the story of a singer who, while recovering from a broken engagement and in the midst of a professional crisis, decides to accept a job at a resort. What she didn't imagine was finding her ex-fiance on this new journey of her life. The movie is produced by the acclaimed singer Alicia Keys, and also features Jay Pharoah in the cast (known for his comedy roles and for being part of the cast of 'Saturday Night Live'). In addition to being directed by Steven Tsuchida, known for 'The Doll That Turned Into A Person 2'. It might be a good choice for those looking for a light romantic story with lots of humor!

A Tourist's Guide to Love
Among the typical romantic comedies on Netflix, this one, it has to be said, doesn't break any molds. "A Tourist's Guide to Love" tells the story of a travel executive who is sent undercover to learn about tourism in Vietnam after an unexpected romantic breakup. Naturally, she falls for her attractive tour guide, which gets complicated when her ex reappears. A corny and naive story very similar to "Eat Pray Love" but starring Rachel Leigh Cook from "She's All That." A good option only if you're looking for a traditional and uncomplicated romantic comedy.
Romance
13 Going On 30
Jennifer Garner (Daredevil, TV's "Alias") and Mark Ruffalo (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) star in this hilarious flash-forward romance about a pre-teen girl who goes from geek to glamorous. With the help of some magic wishing dust, 13 year-old Jenna Rink (Garner) becomes 30 and gorgeous overnight, with everything she ever wanted, except for her best friend Matt (Ruffalo). Now, this grown woman must create some magic of her own to help the little girl inside find the true love she left behind.
Licença para Enlouquecer
When the lives of friends Sara, Lia and Leia turn into chaos of planetary proportions, they have to share a tiny apartment in São Paulo and almost go crazy. Who never? But the three are enough. They become accomplices to fulfill an indecent and irrefutable proposal: crossing the country to “animate” a secret party on the paradisiacal beach of Maragogi, in Alagoas. An absurdly unexpected adventure, with twists, passions, the strength of friendship and a surprise that will transform their destinies.
How to Date Billy Walsh
There's a reason why, despite being so repetitive, teen romantic comedies like Clueless work so well: we've all been there, somehow. The plot of How to Date Billy Walsh is set in Britain, but follows the same formula as many other similar proposals from the United States: a guy, Archie, has been friends with Amelia since childhood, but secretly loves her. However, when he finally gathers the courage to confess, she falls for Billie Walsh, a handsome and athletic exchange student. The story is predictable and, except for a Netflix Sex Education-like layer of paint, there's not much new. However, it's a good contender for a Gen Z classic.
The Taste of Things
From Vietnamese-French director Anh Hung Tran (The Scent of Green Papaya) and starring the legendary Juliette Binoche and Benoît Magimel, The Taste of Things was France's selection for the 2024 Oscars, although it was not nominated. Set in 1889 and based on the character of Dodin-Bouffant created by Marcel Rouff, the story follows a chef (Magimel) enchanted by his cook (Binoche), for whom he feels not only culinary admiration, but genuine love. However, she is not ready to take the step into marriage and is happy and content with the relationship they have. Sensual in its visuality and narrative, it is a powerful story of love and about love, which, while not entirely breaking free from conventions, is elevated by the formidable talent of its protagonists.
