Guida turistica per innamorarsi

I swear the acting and storytelling in these Netflix rom-coms gets worse everyday. The film gets a 5 from me because the scenery was gorgeous and we get a taste of a rich culture that isn't touched upon often in English language films. However, the acting was horrendous except from a few of the newcomers, Rachel Leigh Cook just does not have that it factor anymore so I'm very confused as to why she continually is cast in these romantic comedies. The storyline was bland as well, and how the two main characters end up together is incredibly cliché which could possibly be what Netflix was going for on this. As previously stated, the film's only saving grace is the cultural aspect that was enjoyable to see and learn about. Netflix needs an original idea though. These films are becoming as bad as every Hallmark movie ever just with a slightly larger budget.

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.

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.

I hadn't seen anything with Rachael Leigh Cook in a while. When she was younger she was cute. Now, today, she is beautiful. She was perfect for this role. Every actor in this movie is great, I couldn't find a single person I'd replace. And, for me, that says a lot as I'm as critical as they come when it comes to movies.

This movie is a Romcom at it's best. It's not the pure Hallmark formula that has been so consistent, but I think it may be better.

The scenery in this it absolutely beautiful. I knew Vietnam was pretty but had no idea it was this gorgeous!

There's beautiful scenery, comedy, romance, a few quirky people, and even a little intrigue.

I'll be watching this again, soon.

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!
