Book of Love

"Book of Love" is a Comedy - Romance movie in which we watch a writer traveling to Mexico in order to promote even more his book after becoming a best seller there. Everything changes on his book tour since some important information reveal.

I enjoyed this movie because it had a very simple and despite that it was predictable it had a nice plot. The combination of comedy and romance was good but also predictable at many moments. The interpretations of both Sam Claflin who played as Henry Copper and Verónica Echegui who played as Maria Rodríguez were good and their combination worked very well. The differences of the two characters created a nice, funny atmosphere that followed them through the whole duration of the movie. To sum up, I have to say that "Book of Love" is a good movie to spend your time with but do not expect much or something different than all the other romantic movies.

A lot of reviews are chastising this film for not being original. There are so many films being made these days, original is hard to come by. What matters is how a story is told and the characters. I loved how this story was told and I loved the characters. It was interesting seeing both characters unfold. The Mexican setting was charming and lovely. The supporting characters provided refreshing humor. I was entertained from start to finish.

Of course it is predictable. It is a rom com. I really liked the actors, particularly when being funny rather than ernest. Yeah, the plot point that he got published (not a spoiler, is point of the movie) despite being a boring book doesn't work. Publishers wouldn't publish this nonsense. And storyline could have been more engaging, but overall, it made me smile, and I enjoyed it. I liked the music too. Closeups of actors were a little too close.

This romantic comedy is well cast, funny, sometimes predictable, yet you will still smile. The music arraingement was well done. I loved the cultural clashes, and real Mexican scenery. My wife and I watched it twice.

It's the CUTEST idea, the acting was okay, as written, I'm sure. But that's where the problem is, there's no chemistry really written in the movie and their attraction comes out of nowhere really, even though I do like them. It needs better writing.

I just can't get over this really adorable idea not being written to its fullest.

Love the British and Mexican agents. Great personality!!
