A Tourist's Guide to Love cast: who's who in the romantic movie

A Tourist’s Guide to Love cast is led by Rachael Leigh Cook. But who else is in the romantic movie?

A Tourist’s Guide to Love is a romantic movie that follows a woman named Amanda, who heads to Vietnam where she's on a mission to decide whether her travel agency should purchase a smaller outpost there.

But, while there, she finds herself becoming interested in Sinh (Scott Ly), a tour guide 

The Netflix movie is partly based on screenwriter Eirene Tran Donohue’s real-life experiences: She told Tudum : "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.

"While I was in Vietnam I realized that that relationship, which was a good one, wasn't actually the best fit for me."

Rachael Leigh Cook Falls For Vietnam — and a Local — in "A Tourist's Guide to Love" Trailer

tourist guy to love cast

One woman's real-life story of fate and exploration is getting the rom-com treatment. "A Tourist's Guide to Love," from writer Eirene Tran Donohue and director Steven K. Tsuchida, will begin streaming on April 21 on Netflix — and POPSUGAR has an exclusive first look at the trailer. Starring Rachael Leigh Cook, "A Tourist's Guide to Love" follows a travel executive on an undercover assignment in Vietnam shortly after an unexpected breakup. While there, the lines between work and pleasure blend as she finds herself falling for her tour guide, played by Scott Ly.

"Whenever I tell people about how I met my husband while traveling in Vietnam, they always say that it sounds like a movie, and so it's pretty surreal to actually turn it into one," 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 that you can do or be anything. I'm so grateful to have found a partner who inspires and supports me and who, after 22 years together, keeps my life a romantic comedy instead of a drama."

Highlighting the rich culture of Vietnam was important for Donohue, and for the film's star and producer Cook, who fans first fell in love with in 1999's "She's All That." Filming the movie was the first time the actor and producer visited Vietnam, and she praises the country's people as being "so friendly, inclusive, loving, creative, and wholly unique." She tells POPSUGAR, "I feel very lucky to have been embraced by the people in the creative community there while we were making this film."

Fans have been falling back in love with rom-coms over the past few years, and Cook appreciates the unique take on the genre "A Tourist's Guide to Love" presents. She explains, "The aim of this film was not just to tell a love story, but to capture the sheer joy that can come with people from different cultures coming together and connecting over a shared, totally unique, and beautiful experience. This is a movie that is as much about loving life as it is another person."

"A Tourist's Guide to Love" Inspiration

"A Tourist's Guide to Love" Inspiration

In addition to being ripped from her own life, "A Tourist's Guide to Love" writer Donohue says she found inspiration in "classic old Hollywood movies." Explains Donohue to POPSUGAR, "I was a big fan of Audrey Hepburn. So 'Roman Holiday' and 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' were a big influence. Then of course the classic '90s rom coms. 'Pretty Woman,' 'While You Were Sleeping' and 'Sleepless in Seattle.' More recently, I've definitely been inspired by 'Crazy Rich Asians.' For me it's really important to make sure that the romance is central and also that the main character isn't just interested in finding a man, but that they are searching for love. And that the love they find is worthy of them. I want the audience to emotionally connect with the characters and to feel like that big love is real and that it's possible for them too. Everyone deserves a big love."

Netflix's A Tourist's Guide to Love: Plot, Cast, Release Date, and Everything Else We Know

What happens when a woman with a broken heart heads to Vietnam? The new Netflix film A Tourist's Guide to Love is going to show us.

Get ready to experience the trip of a lifetime with Netflix's new romantic comedy, A Tourist's Guide to Love . When Amanda tries to come to terms with a sudden breakup, her company sends her across the world to Vietnam. What happens next is anyone's guess, though it involves a love triangle , a life-changing adventure, and an even more life-changing decision.

Variety exclusively announced that Rachael Leigh Cook would headline the project as Amanda in 2021. The film is actually based on an idea the actress had, which was brought to life as a screenplay by Eirene Donohue ( A Sugar & Spice Holiday ). In addition to starring in and thinking of the idea for the film, Cook is also a producer.

Ready to find out if you are a tourist or traveler? Here's everything you need to know about A Tourist's Guide to Love .

A Tourist's Guide to Love: The Plot

After being blindsided by a breakup instead of the proposal she was expecting, Amanda heads to Vietnam for her job and tries to find herself while experiencing everything the country has to offer. With Sinh as her guide, it looks like she may find everything she is looking for and even something she isn't as she explores Vietnam. The provided synopsis gives a bit more details on the purpose of her trip.

After an unexpected breakup, a travel executive (Rachael Leigh Cook) accepts an assignment to go undercover and learn about the tourist industry in Vietnam. Along the way she finds adventure and romance with her Vietnamese expat tour guide (Scott Ly) when they decide to reroute the tour bus in order to explore life and love off the beaten path.

Despite being sent to learn about the tourist industry, with the help of Sinh, Amanda seems to discover something new about herself and figure out what, and who she wants. Based on the trailer, the film appears to have a pretty standard rom-com setup, with her ex-boyfriend even flying to Vietnam after her. Of course, this creates a love triangle between the guy she thought would marry and the one showing her around Vietnam.

It looks like audiences will get to see a variety of places around Vietnam, from the cities to farms out in the country. The trailer also features scenes of a dragon dance, which could hint at the time of year the film takes place and a lantern activity on a river or lake. The dragon dance is part of several different festivals, but as confirmed in Tudum , Amanda is traveling in Vietnam during Tết or the Vietnamese Lunar New Year. This will add to the cultural experience she, and the audience, have during the film.

A Tourist's Guide to Love: The Cast

Rachael Leigh Cook is Amanda Riley, the woman who doesn't get put on hold. The actress is known for her work in She's All That , the TNT miniseries Into the West , and Hallmark films like Autumn in the Vineyard and Frozen in Love . Scott Ly is Sinh, the tour guide and love interest. Despite the trailer using the language "introducing," the actor has appeared in episodes of Bones , Animal Kingdom , and FBI: Most Wanted . Ben Feldman is John, the ex-boyfriend. Audiences may recognize him from the shows Drop Dead Dive and Superstore or the films As Above So Below and Cloverfield .

Release Date

A Tourist's Guide to Love will be available to stream starting Apr. 21.

Everything Else We Know

True to the nature of Amanda's trip, production did take place throughout Vietnam in 2022. Director Steven K. Tsuchida described the experience of being one of the first American films to ever film entirely on location in Vietnam to Tudum.

"To be able to film in so many locations in Vietnam was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The excitement of [Ho Chi Minh City] was captivating, while the traditions of Hanoi were enriching. The diversity and culture of Da Nang, Hội An and My Son [sanctuary] was breathtaking. And living and filming in Hà Giang was spiritually moving."

The portrayal of the country, particularly because most American films featuring the area are about the Vietnam War , was essential to writer Eirene Donohue. When speaking with Tudum, the writer described what it meant to her to write a film taking place in Vietnam.

"There are almost no American movies set in Vietnam that aren't about the trauma of war. It was really important to me to tell a story about life now. 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."

Moreover, the film is personal to the writer. She experienced a similar breakup just before going to Vietnam for five weeks. While there, she met her life partner at the very end of her trip.

"On my last week in Vietnam, I met a Canadian backpacker who was very much a free spirit and very adventurous... He was supposed to be my holiday fling, [but] we have been together ever since — 22 years."

"A Tourist's Guide to Love" Inspiration

In addition to being ripped from her own life, "A Tourist's Guide to Love" writer Donohue says she found inspiration in "classic old Hollywood movies." Explains Donohue to POPSUGAR, "I was a big fan of Audrey Hepburn. So 'Roman Holiday' and 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' were a big influence. Then of course the classic '90s rom coms. 'Pretty Woman,' 'While You Were Sleeping' and 'Sleepless in Seattle.' More recently, I've definitely been inspired by 'Crazy Rich Asians.' For me it's really important to make sure that the romance is central and also that the main character isn't just interested in finding a man, but that they are searching for love. And that the love they find is worthy of them. I want the audience to emotionally connect with the characters and to feel like that big love is real and that it's possible for them too. Everyone deserves a big love."

Now streaming on:

“A Tourist’s Guide to Love” is as harmless as its blandly forgettable title would suggest. It’s not quite a Movie to Fold Laundry To, because the scenery is quite lovely, so you’ll actually want to pay attention. But it is a pleasant escape if you’re seeking lazy Saturday afternoon viewing.

Rachael Leigh Cook brings her perky rom-com presence to this made-for-Netflix movie, which checks all the boxes you’d expect from such a slick and glossy example of the genre. Slapstick comedy, fish-out-of-water gags, wacky supporting characters, copious shopping montages, a love triangle, a secret to be revealed and a last-minute dash to say “I love you”—they’re all there, but this time they’re set against the backdrop of present-day Vietnam, which gives “A Tourist’s Guide to Love” an unusual feeling of novelty.

Director Steven K. Tsuchida , a TV veteran, was also behind 2021’s “ Resort to Love ,” another Netflix romantic comedy set in a picturesque vacation destination. This is pure formula, but the leads have such a sweet chemistry with each other, and the locations are so enticing, that you may as well just surrender.

Cook stars as Amanda Riley, an uptight, Los Angeles-based travel agent living a safe and predictable existence with her boring accountant boyfriend, John ( Ben Feldman ). Amanda’s boss (and apparently only friend), Mona ( Missi Pyle ), insists John is going to propose to her. Instead, he tells her he’s taking a job in Ohio and putting their relationship on hold. (Julia Shiplett makes the most of a brief supporting role as Amanda’s unimpressed manicurist.)

Stunned, Amanda agrees to Mona’s suggestion that she travel to Vietnam undercover to scope out a local tour company with the possibility of her firm buying it. This is also her chance to eat-pray-love her way out of heartache. Plus, she’ll be there for the annual Tet celebration, which just happens to be all about renewal. Would any of this actually happen in real life? No. Would a spoiled hotel heiress actually hit her head on a tree at a ski resort, suffer amnesia and fall for the hunky, widowed dad who owns a charming bed and breakfast? Probably not. We don’t watch these kinds of movies for realism.

And so Type-A Amanda becomes part of a tour group led by the handsome and soulful Sinh ( Scott Ly ) and his effervescent cousin, Anh (Quinn Truc Tran). Screenwriter Eirene Tran Donohue tries somewhat to flesh out the motley assemblage of fellow travelers, but she saddles them with awkward small talk, and no one is terribly interesting. The inordinately prepared Amanda insists on adhering to the itinerary because she wants to get the most out of her covert mission, but the easygoing Sinh takes a more spontaneous approach which—spoiler!—Amanda eventually learns to enjoy. Sinh also happens to have just the right profound thing to say for every occasion, which speaks to the flux in which Amanda finds herself. (Example: “A tourist wants to escape life. A traveler wants to experience it.”) Again, these are familiar types, but Cook’s likability softens her character’s pushy, impatient traits, and the charismatic Ly’s understated delivery makes Sinh’s platitudes less cheesy than they might sound.

Working with cinematographer Jon Keng and featuring plenty of shimmering aerial shots, Tsuchida makes every stop along the way seem vibrant and appealing, from the bustling streets of Ho Chi Minh City to the beaches of Da Nang to the verdant hills of Sinh’s home village. “Doing nothing feels very weird,” Amanda admits while lounging under an umbrella by the sea, and truer words were never spoken.

“A Tourist’s Guide to Love” is essentially a travelogue with a plot, but you might actually find yourself caring about whether these two attractive-but-extremely-different people end up falling for each other in the end.

10 biggest differences between the fall guy & the original tv show.

The Fall Guy's Post-Credits Scene Explained

The fall guy's 18 movie references & quotes, the fall guy is the action franchise starter ryan gosling has waited 8 years for.

The following contains spoilers for The Fall Guy, now playing in theaters

  • 2024's The Fall Guy updates Colt Seavers as a stuntman without the bounty hunter side-gig from the original The Fall Guy TV series.
  • Jody undergoes serious transformations, reinvented from stuntwoman to a director and love interest for Colt.
  • The movie introduces new characters, like Dan Tucker and Alma Milan, while cutting the show's original supporting cast.

The Fall Guy takes a lot of liberties with the original television series that inspired it, making some serious changes in bringing the show to the big screen. Starring Lee Majors, Heather Thomas, and Douglass Barr, The Fall Guy aired for five seasons on ABC from 1981 to 1986. By contrast, 2024's The Fall Guy is a blockbuster movie that takes a far different approach to the adventures of Colt Seavers. Although both versions of The Fall Guy focuses on a Hollywood stuntman at the center of their story, they both approach the concept from a very different place.

In fact, the numerous differences between the show and the film make for a good case study in how far adaptations can go in reimagining their original concept, while still retaining the dangerous stunts that helped define The Fall Guy . While the first version of The Fall Guy was an episodic action-adventure series that would utilize a standard formula for over a hundred episodes, The Fall Guy 's characters are utilized in a far more directed satire of the modern film industry that infuses the action with a surprisingly sweet love story. Here are the biggest differences between The Fall Guy film and the show that inspired it.

The Fall Guy could be a new franchise for Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, and the first movie does have a post-credits scene. Here's what happens.

10 2024's The Fall Guy Drops Colt's Bounty Hunter Side-Gig

The new colt is after the fall guy 's criminals to clear his name & save jody's film.

The Fall Guy makes several major changes to the original TV series that inspired it, with many of the biggest changes directed at Colt Seavers . In the new film, Ryan Gosling's version of Colt is a long-time stuntman who worked his way up from the Universal Studios amusement park to blockbuster movies. However, while the film throws him into dangerous situations, he never necessarily goes looking for it himself. Instead, he gets wrapped up in the conspiracy concocted by Gail and Tom because of his drive to help Jody.

In the original TV show, Colt was far more active in jumping into danger. In the show, Colt was a stunt-man, but he was also a bounty hunter . This was the primary dive of the series, as Colt would split his time between on-set stunts and bringing down criminals. This was even the source of the show's title, as he became "the Fall Guy" for the justice system when criminals couldn't be caught by more conventional means.

9 Jody Isn't A Stunt Woman In 2024's The Fall Guy

Jody goes from stunt woman ally to a film director in love with colt.

In both versions of The Fall Guy , Jody is established as a fellow filmmaking professional alongside Colt. However, the two versions of Jody are different beyond those surface-level elements . In the original TV show, Jody Banks is a stuntwoman who joins Colt on many of his missions. Jody even took on assignments unrelated to Colt at times. By contrast, the film features Jody Moreno as a camera operator who eventually becomes a director herself, shifting her job to behind the camera.

Another major change to the film compared to the show is the relationship between Colt and Jody. In the film, the romance between Colt and Jody is central to the overarching plot , with their eventual reconciliation serving as the emotional coda of the film. In the original show, the pair were far more established as business partners and friends instead of being primarily a romantic couple.

8 The Film Cuts Most Of The Fall Guy's Supporting Cast

There's no howie, big jack, terri, or pearl in the new version of the fall guy.

Outside of Colt and Jody, the main characters of the original The Fall Guy are cut from the film. The most notable removal is the character of Howie Munson , who was played by Douglas Barr in the original show. An aspiring stuntman and Colt's cousin, Howie was an important ally to Colt and a frequent source of comedy on the show, with a handy set of abilities he picked up from an assortment of odd jobs. He also had a tendency to get his car destroyed by Colt.

The series also counted Colt's bail bondswomen as an important character. However, that role shifted over the course of the show's five-season run. Samantha "Big Jack" Jack (Jo Ann Pflug) served the role in season 1, and was replaced by Terri Shannon (Markie Post) for much of the show. After Post left the series to join the cast of Night Court , Pearl Sperling (Nedra Volz) took over as Colt's bondswoman ally in season 5. None of these characters appear in the cinematic version of The Fall Guy .

The Fall Guy is a fun action movie made for movie lovers, with tons of quotes and references to franchises like Rocky and The Fast and the Furious.

7 The Fall Guy Introduces Plenty Of New Characters

Dan tucker and alma milan weren't in the original version of the fall guy.

While The Fall Guy doesn't feature the show's more important supporting characters, it does introduce some new ones to flesh out the film. Two of the most prominent are Winston Duke's Dan Tucker and Stephanie Hsu's Alma Milan. Dan is a former stuntman and old friend of Colt who serves as a stunt supervisor on Jody's blockbuster film. Dan fills the role that Howie might have played in the film , serving as a more grounded friend to Colt and a crucial ally.

However, his own success and skills as a stuntman have earned Dan a more distinct role in the story than Howie might have. Alma, meanwhile, is more indicative of the film's satirical approach to the film industry , something the original show was less focused on. Alma is a more morally ambiguous character, who only helps the heroes after ensuring they'll help her in the aftermath of the film's release.

6 The Original Fall Guy Didn't Have A Central Villain Arc

The fall guy turns an actor and producer into the film's major threats.

One of the driving elements of The Fall Guy TV series was its episodic nature. The show largely operated on short storylines that could be resolved every episode. This was reflected by Colt's dual role as a bounty hunter and stuntman, as each new episode would bring Colt to a different set and pit him against a new foe. While there were some longer storylines that would take up multiple parts, The Fall Guy largely operated at that level for five seasons .

By contrast, 2024's The Fall Guy has a definite villain in the duo of Tom Ryder and his frequent producer, Gail . The two are the central threat of The Fall Guy , luring Colt to set in a bid to frame him for the accidental murder of another stuntman. The modern version of The Fall Guy benefits from being a singular story, thus allowing it to have a central antagonist who serves as a direct contrast to Colt.

5 Colt's Iconic Truck Got A Modern Day Update

Colt's iconic gmc sierra gets more action in the tv show.

In both versions of The Fall Guy , Colt is shown driving a GMC Sierra . However, the truck goes through a modified origin and use in the film. The TV series frequently showcased Colt using a specific version of the GMC Sierra pick-up truck that had been customized to allow for longer and bigger jumps. In-universe, Colt utilized the car often. Even if the truck was heavily damaged in an episode, it would be repaired and ready to go by the next one.

In 2024's The Fall Guy , Colt also gets a GMC Sierra, albeit a modern version of the truck. However, the car doesn't actually belong to Colt . Instead, it's one of the trucks used on the set of Metalstorm . Colt only gets the keys to it after arriving at the film shoot. Although he puts the truck to good use during some of The Fall Guy 's dangerous action scenes and stunts , Colt doesn't simply get it repaired or replaced after losing it during a high-speed chase. Instead, Colt uses a number of other vehicles in the film, including a speed boat and a smaller stunt car.

4 Colt's Emotional Growth Is Unique To The Film

Colt's character arc in the new version of the fall guy makes him far more vulnerable.

Due to the episodic nature of the original version of The Fall Guy , there wasn't much in terms of major character development for Colt. The series needed to be accessible on an episode-by-episode basis, leading to a version of Colt who was far more static than his film counterpart . In the show, Colt is a rough but reliable hero, with a heart of gold despite his bruises and bumps. The cinematic take on Colt, reflecting a more modern sensibility with a definite character arc, is a far more emotional character.

Much of the character's personal and romantic arcs revolve around Colt's initial inability to actually open up and be vulnerable , something he admits to Jody is tough when you're a stuntman who needs to convey toughness at all times. This allows the film to take more time forcing Colt to open up and eventually reach a place where he can speak freely to Jody. This is something the TV version of Colt never did to such a degree, reflecting the show's more action-centric tone.

Ryan Gosling has not been a part of many movie franchises, but The Fall Guy seems to perfectly pave the for him to have a franchise under his belt.

3 The Fall Guy Almost Entirely Focuses On A Single Big Blockbuster

The result of doing the fall guy as a single film instead a long-running tv show.

The Fall Guy series and film differ in a lot of ways, most notably in primary focus. As an episodic television series without an overarching plot, The Fall Guy would regularly bring Colt and his allies to new kinds of films and sets with every episode. This allowed the show to throw Colt into all sorts of film sets and different genres , ranging from spy films to Westerns. This also proved to be an easy way for the show to incorporate plenty of celebrity cameos, who could interact with Colt for an episode.

Being a far more focused feature-length narrative, The Fall Guy largely focuses on a single movie . While there are references to Colt's earlier work (one of which resulted in a nearly fatal injury for the stuntman), most of the film is centered around the production of Metalstorm . This focus is even baked into Colt's motivations, as he initially only searches for the missing Tom because the failure of the movie could derail Jody's career. As a result, the film doesn't feature many prominent cameos, although Jason Momoa features prominently as a gag at the end of the film.

2 The Fall Guy's Theme Song Got Some Lyrical Tweaks

How the new version of "the unknown stuntman" changes the show's theme song.

The theme song for The Fall Guy was titled "The Unknown Stuntman," which also appears in the new film. However, the song has been tweaked and received a new cover for the film. The original version of the song, sung by Lee Majors, referenced several stars of the era, like Sally Field, Cheryl Tiegs, Robert Redford, Clint Eastwood, and Farrah Fawcett. It was something of a hit song in countries like Germany, which resulted in different versions of the track being released.

The new version of the song is sung by Blake Shelton. It also foregoes pop culture references and tweaks some of the lyrics . While the majority of the song remains the same, these cuts give the song a more timeless feel that reflects the idea of a stuntperson more than the very era-specific version that was featured in the original take on the song.

1 The Fall Guy's Ending Teases A Different Fate For Colt

Colt gets a happy ending in the movie.

The ending of The Fall Guy differs from the show in a key way, which again speaks to the far more self-contained nature of the movie. The Fall Guy 's final episode is more or less a regular entry in the series , focusing on Colt working to take down criminals. The episode ends with Colt, Jody, and Howie embarking on their next assignment. There's no clear indication this is the end of the road, allowing them to continue fighting crime.

The Fall Guy film ends on a much more definite note , albeit one that still leaves room open for future exploration. Jody's movie is completed and becomes a huge hit. She formally restarts her romance with Colt, who is shown wearing a "Fall Guy" company hat, similar to the organization Lee Major's version of the character operated. The film's happy ending feels far more conclusive than the ending the show ever got, suggesting The Fall Guy might work best as a singular story instead of a continuous plot.

The Fall Guy

The Fall Guy is an action thriller from Bullet Train and Deadpool 2 director David Leitch. Ryan Gosling stars as a stuntman who is forced to find a missing movie star, investigate a conspiracy, and repair his relationship with the love of his life. The film was written by Drew Pearce and inspired by the 1980s TV series of the same name.
