Neapolitans be like: "Enough with the stereotypes about Neapolitans."
Then, without fail, a movie comes out featuring the guy who solves his problems by scheming a scam with his brother—highlighted even more since the English title is literally "The Love Scam." A plot more predictable than this is hard to find.
The cinematography is painfully typical of Italian TV movies: overloaded with bokeh and unnecessary blurs.
A romantic-comedy, nothing overly original, following the classic and overused "strangers to lovers" trope.
Despite the rich stuffing of clichés and stereotypes, it's still enjoyable and manages to draw a few smiles (like when, in the first minute, the kid bangs his head on the coffee table).
