Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor: Difference between revisions

* Subverted in ''[[The Notebook]]'' as the rich guy is decent and very lovely.

* Played with in ''[[Just Friends (film)|Just Friends]]'' in which Jamie must choose between her former high school best friend who is now a [[Jerkass]], successful [[Casanova]] with a glamorous job in the music intustry and another former friend who has grown up into a nice, down to earth small town paramedic. {{spoiler|Except in turns out the [[Jerkass]] Rich Suitor is really a [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] while the supposedly nice Poor Suitor is a [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]] deliberately looking to break her heart for not noticing his crush on her in high school}}.

* Given a bit of a twist in ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]'', where Jasmine falls in love with "street rat" Aladdin and doesn't much care for this Prince Ali who comes parading down the streets with an ostentatious display of wealth and possessions. The twist being, of course, that [[Two-Person Love Triangle|"Ali" is]] [[Loves My Alter Ego|actually Aladdin]] who's been turned into a prince by Genie. Jasmine only begins warming up to him when she figures this out and he begins acting more like himself. And it was not like she knew she had a choice between the "two of them", since [[Big Bad|Jafar]] lied to her, claiming Aladdin was executed.

* [[The Flintstones In Viva Rock Vegas]]: Casino owner Chip Rockfeller and quarry employee Fred Flintstone are rivals for Wilma's affections. The movie twists the trope by having Chip ''needing'' to marry Wilma, who's from a rather affluent family as well, to be able to pay his debts and stay wealthy.
