For many movie fans, any time is the right time for a rom-com. And, as lots of people who make good use of their Netflix subscription will certainly know by now, the streamer has been and continues to be home to a number of the best romantic comedies, including films made exclusively for the service. Now, a new entry among the 2023 new movie releases has, once again, brought romance to Netflix with Rachael Leigh Cook’s new film, A Tourist’s Guide to Love.
Also starring Scott Ly, the movie centers on travel executive Amanda, whose company sends her to check out a Vietnamese tour company before they buy it, by posing as a regular tourist. Obviously, inspiring experiences and romantic shenanigans with her handsome guide, Sinh, soon ensue, changing her life forever. This is the second rom-com Cook has starred in for the streamer (after 2020’s Love, Guaranteed and not counting her part in the He’s All That cast), and I had a lot of thoughts while watching the travel-focused film. So, let’s get to what the romance brought up for me!
