The Map That Leads to You follows Heather (Madelyn Cline), a young woman setting off on an adventure across Europe with her best friends before settling into her perfectly planned life. When she crosses paths with Jack (KJ Apa), a magnetic and mysterious stranger, their instant spark ignites an emotional journey neither of them expected. As their connection deepens, secrets, life choices, and hidden truths will test their bond--and change her life in ways she never imagined. From director Lasse Hallström (Dear John, Safe Haven) comes this adaptation of JP Monninger's novel about love, destiny, and the courage to choose your own path.

There’s just no sizzle here.

Mr. Hallström, who has made some emotionally satisfying and even delicate movies, doesn’t really have the material here that he had in his other films. His cast is pretty; the Sagrada Familia is more eloquent.

It’s all as comfortably mindless as you’d expect.

Up to its truly stupid ending, Map is enjoyable as a bubbleheaded travelogue through various sun-kissed summer spots of the continent.

The final act throws in one of those annoying yet chronic movie conflicts that could be solved with just a little communication. It sets up the story’s predictable finish that leaves an unfortunate Nicholas Sparks aftertaste.

For me, The Map That Leads To You is watchable, but forgettable. It's the kind of film you might enjoy once for its glossy visuals and picturesque settings, but it doesn't linger in the mind afterwards.

"The Map That Leads to You": El Espíritu Puro de la Juventud No esperaba nada de "The Map That Leads to You" y me terminó gustando mucho. Sí, tiene todos los clichés de las películas románticas posibles, pero lo que hace especial a esta es el envoltorio: unos visuales realmente hermosos, personajes entrañables y un humor que funciona igual de bien que los momentos dramáticos. Siento que esta película refleja el sueño de todo joven adulto que intenta que el mundo ya sea suyo: el viajar con tus amigos, ir de fiesta, tener cientos de relaciones efímeras hasta que encuentres a la persona que te haga replantearte tus ideas. Esta película realmente capturó este espíritu de una forma pura, y eso cómo se agradece.

Definitely map quest and not GPS. Nevertheless still gets you to where you have to go. The map that lead me to a good chick flick. It was a good movie to watch with your significant other. Would not recommend watching alone as a guy (unless you like romance movies) but overall a good movie.

I mean, we all only watched it because we know the lead actors from other good shows plus the scenery but the writing is crap. The European vistas are gorgeous though so that makes it worth watching
