Queen of rom-coms, Rachael Leigh Cook, has a new film streaming on Netflix titled A Tourist’s Guide to Love, and yes, it’s another romantic comedy. In A Tourist’s Guide to Love, Cook’s character finds herself falling wildly in love with a charismatic tour guide while on assignment in Vietnam.
After her boyfriend of five years unexpectedly breaks up with her, American travel executive Amanda Riley (Rachael Leigh Cook) needs a getaway to clear her head. Her boss and close friend, Mona, suggests that she take on an undercover job assignment in Vietnam to help the company and to get herself out of a downward spiral. Amanda accepts the job and then heads to Vietnam, not knowing that adventure and romance lie ahead when she lands.
Not only is the romantic comedy set in Vietnam, but it was also shot in the beautiful country filled with rich history. In fact, A Tourist’s Guide to Love reportedly makes history as the first U.S. movie to be entirely filmed on location in Vietnam. The movie’s director Steven Tsuchida said this about shooting in the populous Asian country, “To be able to film in so many locations in Vietnam was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
