The main point of interest for me in this movie was to see Vietnam. The movie itself in terms of plot is fairly light and predictable. But having traveled to Vietnam myself, I enjoyed seeing the country and culture. The scenery is fairly accurate and resembled my own experience. I would say though that they portray things in a somewhat rosy way. It wasn't highly exaggerated but things were a bit less gritty and more clean than I remembered so they do cast things in a more favorable light than I experienced. It's not a dramatic exaggeration because my experience in Vietnam was very good and there definitely is a lot of beauty there to behold. Vietnam is a wonderful place to visit and the movie does reflect that. But were it not for the Vietnam aspect, this would be a fairly forgettable movie. It's not a bad movie but it's mostly a fluff piece aside from seeing Vietnam.
