Cast

Release

The film was released in the United States on 29 April 2016.[1]

Reception

Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times called the acting "fair-to-middling" and the plot "enervated" while praising the cinematography.[2]

Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times wrote that while the film is "well-meaning", it is "woefully lacking in dimension or urgency", and called it the "movie equivalent of a scenic tourist trap".[3]

The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film "cross-cultural good vibes and occasional food porn do little to spice up the picture’s limp jokes and reheated hijinks".[1]
