A woman’s true story of fate and exploration gets the rom-com treatment. “A Tourist’s Guide to Love,” from writer Eirene Tran Donohue and director Steven K. Tsuchida, begins streaming on Netflix on April 21 — and POPSUGAR has an exclusive first look at the trailer. “A Tourist’s Guide to Love,” starring Rachael Leigh Cook, follows a travel manager on an undercover assignment in Vietnam shortly after an unexpected breakup. While there, the lines between work and fun blur as she finds herself falling in love with her guide, played by Scott Ly.

“Whenever I tell people how I met my husband while traveling through Vietnam, they always say it sounds like a movie, so it’s pretty surreal to actually make it into a movie,” writer Donohue tells POPSUGAR. “And while the story has changed a lot from my real life, the emotional truth is the same. That feeling when you meet someone who makes you realize you can do or be anything. I’m so thankful to have found a partner who inspires and supports me and who, after 22 years together, keeps my life a romantic comedy rather than a drama.”

Highlighting Vietnam’s rich culture was important to Donohue, and to movie star and producer Cook, whom fans first fell in love with in 1999’s “She’s All That.” The filming of the movie marked the actor’s first time and producer visited Vietnam, and she praises the country’s people as “so kind, inclusive, loving, creative and utterly unique”. She tells POPSUGAR, “I feel very lucky to have been embraced by the people in the creative community there as we made this movie.”

Fans have fallen in love with rom-coms again in recent years, and Cook appreciates the unique take on the genre “A Tourist’s Guide to Love” presents. She explains, “The purpose of this film was not just to tell a love story, but to capture the sheer joy that can come when people from different cultures come together and connect during a shared, totally unique and beautiful experience. This is a film that is as much about loving life as it is about another person.”
