Why watch this film?
A pleasant Danish romantic comedy to watch. With a hackneyed script about two characters who don't like each other and end up falling into the improbability of love, the story is pretty and marks the first romance of director Mehdi Avaz (known for action films such as 'Collision'). The plot follows a Danish chef (Anders Matthesen) who goes to Tuscany to take care of some business and ends up meeting Sophia (Cristiana Dell'Anna), a woman who will change the focus of his trip - and his life, why not? Adding all the possible clichés, the film still manages to have charm thanks to gastronomy, which is inserted in a very constructive way, showing the importance of appreciating local producers. Of course we are talking about the Tuscany region, but it is worth noting. In short, if you are looking for a pleasant movie to watch without great pretensions, you have come to the right film.

A Beautiful Life
A Danish Netflix Original film that tells the story of Elliott, a fisherman with a wonderful voice who gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he is discovered and partnered with Lilly, a distant music producer. Discovered artists, frustrated music careers, budding romances in the recording studio... if the premise of A Beautiful Life sounds a bit like A Star is Born, it's because it seems like a watered-down version of that. Which is not necessarily a bad thing: if you enjoy sweet romances with tragic stories and love that conquers all, you will certainly enjoy it.
Romance
The Red Sea Makes Me Wanna Cry

Wandering through desolate bars, hotels, and offices, Ida attempts to feel Ismail’s presence one last time and to say goodbye.
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.
