Book Of Love

Young, uptight and unsuccessful English writer Henry's novel sells to no one. But when his book is suddenly a surprise hit in Mexico, his publicist insists he travel there on a promotional tour. Upon arrival, a confused Henry discovers the reason behind his novel's popularity – Mexican translator Maria has rewritten his dull book as a steamy erotic novel. Henry, furious, and Maria, reluctant, must now travel together on a book tour across Mexico. As tempers flair and sparks begin to fly, the two begin to find love and lust despite themselves.

Critic Reviews:

• " It manages to entertain without resorting to too simplistic of humour and present a certain wholesomeness without falling on saccharine urges. " – Peter Gray (The AU Review)

• " It helps greatly that Mayor ensures the pace never drags, turning the story into as much a road trip as a comedy of errors. " – James Croot (Stuff.co.nz)

• " The film successfully blends its fish-out-of-water and romantic elements into a pleasingly feather-light entertainment. " – Emma Simmonds (Radio Times)
