The Map That Leads To You
Heather (Madelyn Cline) & her BFFs from college, Connie & Amy, are taking a European vacation traveling to Spain & Portugal. On the train from Amsterdam, Heather meets Jack (KJ Apa), a charismatic New Zealand adventurer who is following his late grandfather’s journal to visit various European cities. Heather is a planner with her whole life mapped out… the college degree & a banking job waiting for her after this R & R with her gal pals. Jack is not & quite the opposite. It’s easy to see where this rom/com is going to go. Connie & Amy manage to hook up with a couple of guys too. Amy is the wild one & manages to get robbed on her one night stand, but good fortune comes their way giving them an even better experience. After 2 great weeks, it is time to part ways & return home. Heather has even extended her vacation a few more days to be with Jack longer. They have now fallen in love with each other. She presses him about their future together but he becomes evasive & does not wanted to talk about it. She will she abandon her dreams to stay will him? Will he follow her back to New York? Does Jack harbor some dark secret? Will they end up going there separate ways? Or will they be together at the end. This one is about finding your purpose in life. I️f you like romantic comedies, you probably enjoy this one. I️ did like seeing the glimpses the different European landmarks.
Alien gives it 3 “If you take the wrong path, you can miss it & regret it all of your life” stars out of 4.
