Netflix has released the trailer for A Tourist’s Guide to Love, an upcoming romantic comedy starring She’s All That and Josie and the Pussycats star Rachael Leigh Cook. In the film, Cook plays a travel executive, recently out of a breakup, who decides to head to Vietnam and get a sense for the country’s tourist industry herself. A romance develops pretty quickly with her tour guide (Scott Ly), who encourages her to leave the pre-fab travel packages behind and see the “real” country off the beaten path.

“Vietnam is insanely beautiful, and the landscape is so incredibly diverse, and that’s why I think it’s so important that we set the movie in so many different places,” Cook said in January. “The topography varies so greatly and it’s such an asset to the movie and to everyone who is able to see it.”
“It was really important to me to tell a story about life in Vietnam now,” writer Eirene Tran Donohue added. “One that was full of joy and love and celebration. I wanted to change the conversation about Vietnam, to highlight it as a modern thriving country whose stories are worthy of being told.”
