'Book of Love' Review: Amazon Prime movie is full of funny and loving moments
Amazon Prime Video is known for bringing engaging stories for its viewers. The streaming platform is back now with a rom-com that is perfect for the upcoming Valentine's Day week. So grab a cup of hot cocoa and enjoy the movie with your loved ones.
'Book of Love' features novel writer Henry (Sam Claflin), who has sold a novel that is poorly written and titled 'The Sensible Heart.'
After publishing his book, he learns that bookstores in his native England can't get it off the shelves. However, the novel becomes a bestseller in Mexico after its translation into Spanish. Before Henry knows anything, he is on a flight to Mexico for a publicity tour set by his local publisher in Mexico, Pedro (Horacio Villalobos), along with the novel's translator Maria (Veronica Echegui).
On the tour, Henry is accompanied by Maria's sweet young son Diego (Ruy Gaytan) and her kindly grandfather Max (Fernando Becerril).

But there is one hidden truth behind the book that Henry is unaware of. Maria rewrote his sexless novel into a passion-filled tome that resonates with many as it sets libidos racing nationwide. The truth however triggers arguments between the duo, but these exchanges eventually make them fall for each other. Maria is a single mother separated from her husband. The movie is given the right turn when her ex-husband Antonio (Horacio Garcia Rojas) suddenly wants his woman back.
Analeine Cal y Mayor has perfectly directed the movie making it very interesting. The acting is highly appreciable. 'Book of Love' is the perfect combination of comedy and romance, making it an ideal watch around Valentine's Day.
