A Tourist's Guide to Love

As a Vietnamese, who is living abroad, this movie makes me feel extremely home sick, since I have not been in Vietnam for a very very long time. All of the scenery in the movie is so beautiful and I am glad that they showed it to the world.

But the story needs to be more structured and built up more, in order to convince the audience that the romance in the movie is real. And I also think, it would be better, that the story of the other characters should be mentioned more, so it would make with the main story pop up more. And also don't make it too easy to guess what will happen.

But yes, this one is really relaxing to watch, when you need something soothing and easy.

Definitely would recommend it and if you could, then please visit Vietnam to see the experience.

This film actually impressed. I watched a lot of film about my country, but they either exaggerated or fabricated. This film didn´t do that and it reminds me of how beautiful my country is and how the people there are. While watching this film, I did blame myself for being able to forget so many good things about my country.

Unfortunately I did not feel much chemistry between the two main characters. However, Rachael acted well, so it could be a plus.

As a rom-com, this flim is predictable, it is still good.

As a tourist´s film it brilliant.

Overall it is a good film and I would watch it again.

This was such a cute movie! It instilled wanderlust with the views of Vietnam as well as that general happy feeling from watching two people fall for each other (lots of happy sighs & palm on the chin awws while watching). I'm so glad that it didn't include the tired enemies to lovers plot line-I hate it when the main character is unkind at first. This is definitely reminiscent of the 1990s/early 2000s feel good romcoms and I loved every minute. There were parts that I genuinely laughed out loud and liked watching two age appropriately matched people in their 40s have a romance. No Oscar nomination, but does it need one? It's cute and fun!

This is a very heartwarming movie about love and travelling. I really loved that Netflix finally used vietnamese (or other nation) as a lead male actor. It is a nice overview about asian culture and how they respect traditions and positive thinking. Even it's a little too coloured. (Obviously it is an american Netflix film). Also Rachel Leigh Cook is great in this film and her act and character is very motivating. I would love to see more films like that which are educating the viewers about different cultures. If you need a lighty but warm movie for your evening even with your spouse or bae i would recommend this.

Okay, I do enjoy a Rom-Com now and then, decided to watch this because I needed something "easy" tonight, so I chose something that wasn't in my saved LIST. Yes, its a predictable rom-com but I typically liked the whole "start new...find a new you" after something negative in one's life. I expected giving a rating of 5-6 but I rated higher because the scenery (and some authentic music). I've visited before and now will need to go back...maybe see more authentic Vietnam, especially since I've already seen most of the touristy spots. I may go on their New Year to experience their traditions. My experience was mainly beach scene so next time I will spend more time in the city and countryside. There is a calm to this country, the people and with everything going on in the world I for one, could use some of that.
