Based on a hit YA novel, the film opens with a pleasant if plain American student losing her mother but still going on their pre-planned post-graduation trip to Italy solo, finding romance with a handsome rich boy and a regular-guy aspiring chef in this sunny and fluffy Netflix rom-com. With undue haste we are taken on a whirlwind tourist trip around Rome (and later Florence for added value) and the two potential love interests are introduced before - in true Mamma Mia! style - she is given her mother's diary and starts looking for her estranged father. With its wistful score, gorgeously-shot locations and pleasant cast, the film is an easy watch and is an inoffensive and entertaining enough example of the genre, even if you can write it yourself as it goes along. .
