Book of Love

An interesting premise that builds to a predictable climax and provokes a few laughs and a tender tear along the way. Sam Claflin does ok but Verónica is a delight who steals every scene she is in, even with her back to the camera. I look forward to seeing her again.

This movie fails to give us a believable romantic comedy.

The main problem of this film is the script, there were parts where it seemed that the film had finished and another began, reflecting the lack of creativity and ingenuity of the writers to maintain a single story throughout the film, this change is very noticeable and annoying, since it seems that nothing we saw in the first half served for the second half of the plot. Even though the first half convinced me, the second half of the movie is very incongruous and goofy, it even creates a flat antagonist that doesn't make much sense to be there, just like everything feels very sudden, the whole third act is very bad since it seems very different from what we had seen in the first half. The development of the characters is not the best, as well as there are some to spare and they do not change the plot much, the romantic relationship is poorly developed and seems very forced, thanks also to the lack of chemistry between the leading actors, many things turn out ridiculous and illogical. The comedy is very goofy and most of the jokes feel very forced, the acting is not the best but the actors try to do a good job, the dialogue is very awkward to watch as well as the conversations seem very forced. Although it does not show all the beauty of the places where the story is located, it does show decently the architect of those places.

It's a shame that an interesting idea was wasted in this unmemorable and poorly written story, it had everything to be funny and entertaining, but it just wasn't.

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!!

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.

"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.
