Two decades after She's All That, The Baby-Sitters Club and Josie And The Pussycats, Rachael Leigh Cook has returned to take the throne of queen of romantic comedy in Netflix's latest original A Tourist's Guide To Love. But is it a little too late?

Directed by Steven Tsuchida (Life-Size 2, Resort To Love), A Tourist's Guide To Love is about Amanda Riley (Rachael Leigh Cook), an executive for a professional travel company who's recently ended a relationship with her boyfriend of five years. To get over the breakup, Amanda accepts an assignment to go undercover and scout the potential purchase of a tour company. Upon arrival at the airport, she meets charming Vietnamese tour guide Sinh (Scott Ly) who takes her and the tour members on a journey that captivates her. Amanda soon finds her rigid routine slowly becoming more flexible as she enjoys wonderful times in the city with a new friend. However, she has to maintain professional cover while on the trip, and it becomes increasingly harder to do as she develops an inevitable romance with her tour guide.
