Who Is In A Tourist’s Guide to Love Cast? - Netflix Tudum
Traveling to a new place can be scary: new surroundings, new languages, new faces. In A Tourist’s Guide to Love, Rachael Leigh Cook’s Amanda is in exactly that position, heading to Vietnam on an Undercover Boss–style mission to decide whether her travel agency should purchase a smaller Vietnamese outpost. Of course, once she’s there, she finds herself swept away by the country’s beauty — and by the beauty of tour guide Sinh (Scott Ly).
It’s a story based in part on screenwriter Eirene Tran Donohue’s real-life experiences. “This idea was based off of the time in my life when, right after college, my safe stable boyfriend unexpectedly broke up with me right as I was about to leave for a five-week trip to Vietnam,” Donohue tells Tudum. “While I was in Vietnam I realized that that relationship, which was a good one, wasn't actually the best fit for me.” In the film, everything is upended when Amanda’s ex-boyfriend makes an unexpected appearance, forcing her to choose between her old and new lives. But she won’t be alone: There are plenty of new and old friends to help her on the way. Read on for a tourist’s guide to these tourists in love.
