Guida turistica per innamorarsi

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.

Rachel Leigh Cook can't act. The rest of the cast neither. The actual story was quite thin and the two main character had zero chemistry but somehow it is still a charming little film. In a grey, rainy afternoon this movie is perfect to bring some colour in your life. And I suspect it was made by a travel agency, as it makes me want to visit Vietnam.

I gave it 6 star because of the scenery and the cultural aspects that were shown. I loved the colours.

As a rom-com, meh, nothing special, although the male lead looks quite handsome indeed but I couldn't see any love happening, I couldn't see the female lead changing, but it probably comes with the lack of the acting skills from the whole cast.

Overall, it is still an okay movie, nice 90 minutes, but not something I'd watch again.

I could rave all day about the beautiful setting of this film. It really showcased Vietnam in a beautiful way. It was cleaver to use a film about a travel company to do it because it created the opening to see sights and have customs explained.

I also thought the actor Scott Ly did a wonderful job. He managed to straddle the romantic lead role well. I loved the running joke that he earned an "Amanda Riley" compliment.

I never really felt the chemistry on Rachel Leigh Cook's part and I really didn't care for her two supporting cast members, her boss played by Missi Pyle and her ex-boyfriend the forensic accountant played by Ben Feldman...who was just weird and awkward.

The story is about a travel company who wants to buy a little travel company in Vietnam to stay competitive, but before they make an offer they send their employee Amanda to secret shop the Vietnamese company to be sure. Which is awkward and then it isn't.

1/2 way through the film when Rachel relaxed a little the film gets slightly better and while it isn't my favorite film, I still would recommend it to romantics...and anyone wanting so see a beautiful side of Vietnam.

" Put that tourist guide book away, you're not a tourist." "Yes I am." "No. You are a traveler." "What's the difference?" "A tourist travels to escape life, a traveler travels to experience life. Life is too short to waste it escaping life, you should experience it instead."

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.
