The Asian Wave (my excitement of how Movies are finally featuring a lot of Asian Performers onscreen) is on and the Wave bring us to Vietnam, in this eye catching sumptuous l Netflix movie called \u201c A Tourist Guide To Love.\u201d Mind you it\u2019s not a travelogue but an off the beaten path of a RomCom story loosely based on the life of screenwriter Eirene Tran Donohue\u2019s real-life experiences being dumped by her boyfriend as she was about to go to Vietnam. The lead actress Rachel Lee Cook is also a Co Producer and another co \u2013 conspirator of this film.<\/p>\n

The world Is open again and beyond the usual destination of Hong Kong, Korea and Japan is an alternative destination mostly known to Americans as the source of the sumptuous PHO food and the Vietnam War Movies like Platoon and Apocalypse Now (which were actually shot in location in the Philippines).<\/p>\n

Now is your chance to see the real Vietnam. Featuring Ho Chi Minh City,\u00a0 <\/span>Da Nang, H\u1ed9i An, Hanoi and H\u00e0 Giang. As I mentioned, you will see an off the beaten path presentation of the said country you will not expect in a movie. To See is to Believe !\u00a0My favorite is the spiritual scene in the My Son Sanctuary \u2013 Ruined Hindu Temples\u2026 I suddenly felt \u2013 spiritual\u2026 for real transported to a new world. Bliss\u2026<\/p>\n

In contrast, the scene wherein Amanda needed to cross the path of the Motorbikes \u2013 it\u2019s like a trust walk in a frat hazing that shows the\u00a0 <\/span>raw Vietnam traffic and how we all should weave through our problems. We should trust in our confidence to get through amidst the chaos.\u00a0Wow, I love the Memorable Soundtrack with bouncy lively music to accompany the colorful picturesque cinematography of the different provinces of Vietnam\u2026. The best songs for me are from the\u00a0 <\/span>Vietnamese Pop Superstar (Vietnam Alum Alum) \u2013 Bich Phuong the songs: \u201cEm Chao Tet\u201d and \u201c\u0110i \u0110u \u0110\u01b0a \u0110i\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Please find the Music Video on YouTube.<\/p>\n

The highlight of the film is the energetic and sexy Love Triangle of sexy and energetic actors :\u00a0<\/span>Rachel Leigh Cook (The Baby-Sitters Club, He\u2019s All That.) who plays the Heroin \u2013 Amanda,\u00a0Asian American Actor \u2013 Scott Ly (Criminal Minds, The Young and the Restless) who plays the Sinh Tach \u2013 the new love interest,\u00a0Ben Feldman (Super Store, Silicon Valley) who plays John\u00a0 <\/span>– the Ex.\u00a0The casting of them three is genius, they all have contrasting personalities, even almost frenetic in energy but as they perform together as one it\u2019s Rom Com Bliss. Did I mention they are all Sexy and Beautiful !<\/p>\n

It\u2019s truly, a great ensemble cast.<\/p>\n

In the mix of all of this is a white lie that Amanda is keeping from Sinh Tach which might explode back to her anytime in the story\u2026. We are shown how they fall in love in the backdrop of all the beauty and the raw scenery of Vietnam. Could a summer love affair ensue inspite of this \u2026\u00a0 <\/span>white lie\u2026 What if he finds out, what if the original boyfriend John suddenly pops up\u2026.Amidst all of this romantic situations are beautiful acting performance of\u00a0<\/span>Missi Pyle (galaxy Quest) the boss of Amanda, who in some parts of the movie is the Deux Ex Machina, the Voice of God, conscience of Amanda. But Missi Pyle is witty funny and I love her one liners.<\/p>\n

The other performances to watch out for are:<\/p>\n

Andrew Barth Feldman \u2013 Alex, the lanky young Vlogger who always shares his Vietnam experiences Live on this Social Media feed. A cute refreshing performance.\u00a0Julia Schiplett \u2013 the manicurist has a one on one t\u00eate-\u00e0-t\u00eate with Amanda \u2013 oh I was laughing out loud on this scene\u2026 a short scene but for me was memorable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Please watch out for this\u00a0 <\/span>Vietnamese-Australian actresd – Quinn Tr\u00fac Tr\u1ea7n as the Co Host of the Tour Group Cousin Anh. She is a wild child with Pink Hair with funny One Liners much similar to Akwafina in the film \u201c Crazy Rich Asian. \u201c She is an actress to watch out for.\u00a0<\/span>Now, the Grandmother character, beautifully performed by actress\u00a0 <\/span>Ns\u01b0t L\u00ea Thi\u1ec7n (Goodbye Mother, The Emperor\u2019s Gift). FYI, most Asian Society are a Matriarchal Society. Grandma shows everyone who is the boss. She can read everybody like a book. Including making Sinh Tach realize his true feelings for Amanda.<\/p>\n
