The Map That Leads to You

I read the book before i saw the movie. If you liked the movie I recommend reading the book too. They did a nice job with the adaptation, surprised me with many things and I really liked what came out of this. The only thing I wanted to see was the original places they traveled too and how Heathers friends stories evolved, but I guess they tried to follow the main plot and it would be maybe too long of a movie, if they would have indulged all those details from the book.

This was a film about tourists in Europe.

3 American college graduates, female, and two guys from New Zealand.

Meet cute, parties, fun in the sun, attraction, getting together.

I thought the acting was okay, the script was lacking, the direction strove for a 'real conversation like twenty-somethings talk' but if that is real then it's not my real. Superficial stays my involvement.

I saw everything coming a mile off. Not an original story at all. Seen it many times before, therefore saw everything coming, no surprises

Oh, and this particular storyline is plagiarised from 'Keith', where it was done the teenage version and stay in one US town version but much more real.

Watch this with your daughter, watch this with your girlfriends, and I'm pretty sure partners won't object - the actors and backdrops are very easy on the eye after all. Great holiday escapism as three best uni friends tour Europe post uni and pre 'proper job' life back home in the US. The route is planned but sensibly they've factored in time to go local and live in the moment..., which of course involves adventures with good looking travel companions along the way. It's a poignant storyline which I won't spoil - and in the meantime you get to drag out the summer a little longer and enjoy the stunning scenery of Barcelona, Basque Country, Porto and Rome.

Wow, what a beautiful movie! This had exactly what a good romantic drama should give: True chemistry, genuine emotion, gorgeous settings, real love, severe heartbreak, and just something that truly sweeps you up and puts you on a roller coaster ride of feelings!

It went from warm and fuzzy to devastating and heart-rending very slowly, and so I felt like those feelings all came very naturally and, therefore, all the more heartbreakingly.

In other words, this movie was so lovely yet so sad, and it definitely did exactly what it needed to do to have me in a passionate chokehold from start to finish.

I actually enjoy it. I thought the ending would be sad or more dramatic, but it wasn't the case. Light movie with charming vibes, especially if you are a fan of traveling. Absolutely recommended to change your mood instantly. It's a combination of hope, love, faith, and opportunities. (BTW, I wish I could have a journal of my great-grandfather like his; my life would be so different and maybe with a meaningful purpose.)
