The Map That Leads to You review – sugary Amazon romance works best as travelogue
A book-loving American woman in her 20s decides to spend time in Europe before she settles into the safety of a finance job in New York City, but she ends up falling for a man who is harbouring a tragic secret about his future. She's played by an in-house Netflix star, he's played by a non-American actor known for his role in a hit TV show. The film is based on a novel and is premiering on a streaming platform this month. While this might not be dramatically similar enough to become a Dante's Peak/Volcano situation, it's hard not to watch Amazon's The Map That Leads to You, out this week, and frequently think about Netflix's loosely similar My Oxford Year, released at the start of August. What immediately separates the two, and often separates Netflix and Amazon movies in general, is the aesthetic. My Oxford Year is every bit a TV movie while The Map That Leads to You is as glossy and sweeping as one deserving of a big screen release. That's both the Jeff Bezos budget bump but also the benefit of having a director like Lasse Hallström at the helm. The Oscar-nominated Swedish film-maker was once Hollywood's master of the middlebrow movie, behind Sunday afternoon specials like Chocolat and The Cider House Rules. But it's his later Nicholas Sparks adaptations Dear John and Safe Haven that made him the ideal choice here, smoothly guiding an adaptation of JP Monninger's sappy 2017 novel The Map That Leads to You (the book is even adorned by a Sparks quote). Trusty hands help in making the film feel grander especially when the emotion of the story, adapted by Dante's Peak's Les Bohem and Don't Make Me Go's Vera Herbert, can't quite get us there. We meet Heather (Madelyn Cline) and her two friends as they near the final stretch of their Eurotrip, perfectly bullet pointed to the final detail. Heather is a type A over-thinker, whose Notes app schedule for her post-graduation and pre-first job in the city hurrah did not include having a meet-cute with Jack (Riverdale's KJ Apa), a handsome New Zealander and fellow Ernest Hemingway fan. He's everything she isn't – impulsive and unplanned – and she finds herself changing her plan, and herself, as the pair start to fall in love. Apa is a likable enough actor but he struggles to sell a lot of Jack's manic pixie dream boy shtick, blandly insisting on the power of living in the moment and saying things like: 'I really believe that your thoughts help create your future,' with a straight face. The film's reheated messaging about the importance of following heart over head is ultimately a sneaky way to push the female lead off her course and on to his, as she relinquishes control to let him lead the way. Their jaunt around Europe, now on his terms, is a simple, seductive watch less for their burgeoning relationship, although they have decently sparky chemistry, and more for the crisply captured scenery, a lush and transporting late summer trip for us stuck at home, from Spain to Portugal to Italy and so on. Hallström knows exactly how to make his films look and feel delectable and at a time of ongoing streamer tinniness, it's a pleasure to be led by someone who truly knows where he's going. It's just a shame that we're being led somewhere so familiar. Not just because My Oxford Year recently took us there too (the 'reveal' is almost identical) but because so many romantic dramas have taken us there before. Both films try to avoid the standard cliches that come with the territory but neither manages anything truly new or, more importantly, poignant enough to bring the tears that should be cascading by the finale. Cline, as she recently showed in the I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel, is an incredibly engaging young star but one hopes her career leads her somewhere more unconventional next. The Map That Leads to You is available on Amazon Prime Video on 20 August

Love Island romance revealed as cast ‘give away' islanders secretly getting close off-screen after brief villa romance
LOVE Island's Ben Holbrough and Alima Gagigo have secretly been growing close off-screen after their brief villa romance. The pair hit it off in the villa and fans were quick to spot sparks flying between the pair during the infamous heart rate challenge. 4 4 And it looks like their chemistry is undeniable on the outside too. Their close pals Shakira Khan and Harrison Solomon dropped a huge clue that they are dating. And now a source has told us: "Alima and Ben have grown close since leaving the villa. "Ben is single after his split from Andrada and Alima is also a single lady. "They're enjoying some harmless flirting and are trying to pick up where they left off. "It's very early stages and it doesn't mean that anything will actually come of this, but they're just getting to know each other better. "Either way they're good friends and have a lovely connection." The Sun reached out to their reps for comment. It comes after Ben posted a video of his Astra App search, which is used to generate a sketch of a user's 'soulmate' based on their birthdate. The sketch had a similar resemblance to Scottish beauty Alima, with fans saying he's hinting that she's his "soulmate". Love Island fans beg bosses to sign bombshell to All Stars after savage attack on ex in final He captioned it: "The Astra App be knowing way too much..." Ben looked coy before adding: "Hard to argue with that". Co-star Shakira then fueled rumours by commenting on the post: "Please collect your boyfriend," and tagged Alima. But it hasn't stopped there. Yesterday, Alima dolled up for a night out at a sushi restaurant. She shared snaps of her dining out at the eatery and a video of her walking across a bridge. Her former villa pal Harrison quickly commented: "Who's recording👀?" His message drove fans wild with many speculating that Ben was filming and out with her last night. One fan wrote: "Alima and Ben are back." A second posted: "Ben and Alima content please." In the villa, viewers were quick to spot Ben and Alima's blossoming connection The Islanders turned up the heat in the villa by stripping off and performing provocative moves in a bid to excite the opposite sex. During the task, one couple's chemistry couldn't be ignored by fans. Ben was most stirred by international business graduate Alima. Eagle-eyed viewers noted the pair having secret chats around the pool. One fan noted: "Alima and Ben could be cute." A second noted: "Alima and Ben seem to have a thing which hasn't been shown until tonight." A third suggested: "Alima and Ben anyone?" After the heart rate challenge, Alima and Ben shared a kiss and began to get to know each other on a deeper level. But Alima's time in the villa was cut short after Conor, with whom she was in a friendship couple, chose to recouple with Billykiss. BOOZY SNOG It comes after Ben enjoyed a kiss with Towie star Dani Imbert behind Andrada Pop's back at a celebrity bash. They were seen whispering in each other's ear, holding hands and then proceeded to enjoy a string of kisses at Broadwick Soho. A source said 'There was instant attraction from the moment they met - they spent two hours kissing at the party it was all very intimate. "It's clearly very much over with Andrada as Dani seemed to be the only thing on his mind." Love Island lad Tommy Bradley also revealed he kissed the same girl on the same night. Outing the cheaters, Ben's now ex Andrada told the Aftersun audience at the finale: 'It was the same girl!' Tommy, who left the villa with Lucy Quinn, held his head in his hands and admitted he acted "disrespectfully", telling Maya how he "messed up" for going behind Lucy's back for the secret snog. The next day it was revealed that Tommy had split from Lucy, who he left the villa with after a shock dumping. Speaking on Aftersun Tommy vowed to stay friends with Lucy. But it sounded like Ben's ex Andrada wasn't keen on keeping in touch. Maya asked what had happened and Andrada revealed: "So we came outside the villa he went exclusive with me, and he was about to meet my family next week. "It took one event where I wasn't there and his head turned." 4 4

JoJo Siwa says her family have ‘never loved anyone more' than Chris Hughes as she praises CBB star on Loose Women
JOJO Siwa has revealed that her family have never loved anyone more than her current partner, Chris Hughes. The singer and dancer gushed over her Love Island star partner as she appeared as a special guest on today's edition of ITV 's Loose Women. 6 6 JoJo, 22, began romancing Chris, 32, after they met inside the Celebrity Big Brother house in April. Now, months down the line, she had confirmed their romance is still going strong and that her family, including her Dance Moms star mother Jessalynn Siwa, fully approve of Chris being a part of their family. Speaking to the panellists on Loose Women, JoJo gushed over Chris as she said: "It is going very well. "He is the brightest light in my life and he is the thing that makes me the happiest." She then continued: "My mum absolutely loves him, she adores him. "My dad and him are best friends. "My brother just asked him to be a groomsman in his wedding. "My family has never loved anyone like this." She then opened up on her mother's reaction to seeing JoJo and Chris' bond develop on the TV. JoJo was in a relationship with Kath Ebbs, who identifies as non-binary, during her time of entering the house. Prior to her CBB stint, JoJo identified as a lesbian and had been in same-sex relationships. JoJo said on Loose Women: "Imagine my mother watching Big Brother and being like, 'what?!'. She further revealed that she had a premonition that taking part in CBB would "change her life". JoJo recalled telling her mother this and insisted that it wasn't a great career move but would be something to change the course of her life. Since their time in the house, JoJo and Chris have not been shy of showing off their feelings for one another on social media. Last week, JoJo spoke exclusively to The Sun as she sat down for a wide-ranging chat at Bizarre HQ. 6 6 Since coming third on Celebrity Big Brother in April, the Karma singer has revamped her inner circle, parted ways with her old management team and started releasing music independently. In the past few months alone, she's dropped three tracks, Bulletproof, a cover of Kim Carnes' 1981 classic Bette Davis Eyes and her latest single Raspy — a tongue-in-cheek clapback at the world for mocking her attempts at finding fame. Ahead of her UK tour, which kicks off in Glasgow on October 1, she is keen to team up with some big names. JoJo explains: 'I'd always say Lady Gaga is my dream collaboration but it's never gonna happen. Now it's Slim Shady.' JoJo's desire to record with Eminem was born out of an internet rumour which claims he hates her. And JoJo wants to capitalise on it, adding: 'I've thought about reaching out and being like, 'Dude, there's this pocket on the internet right now that thinks you absolutely hate me. I think we should play the entire internet.' 6
