Sous le soleil de Riccione

Or is it heartache? Sometimes it is the same, yes? Depending on your experience often times? Ok let's not go there. But young people having fun in the summer - what can go wrong? I know - I wasn't really expecting you to answer that either.

The movie is well intentioned at least and there are many feelings and even someone who has his sight impaired (is that the correct way to say that?), but still looking for love? And why not - using a pun here? I hope you don't mind.

Very nicely shot, do not expect this to be more than it is - a comedy that still is going to be able to touch your heart, if you are open for it of course. Flaws not withstanding - let's give a round of applause. Well sort of - and another pun intended.

The movie is better than it looks. The plot is nothing new but it is still funny. Is refreshing and has a nice summer vibe. The scenary is amazing. All in all, well acted, colorful and funny.!

Under the riccione sun. Or, in europe, it's sotto il sole di riccione. A group of twenty somethings gathers in riccione, which is on the adriatic side of italy. Near san marino, or rimini. It's a beautiful beach resort. Dancing, nightclubs. Volleyball competition. Even the sardine festival. Each person or couple is working thru their own issues... one even has his mother along. Where will it all end? It's a bit like the film porky's, but in italy. But the translation from italian to english is much better than the old days. Netflix is doing much better translating films for other countries now. Even when the film is just okay. Gets pretty silly near the end. Directed by niccolò celaia and antonio usbergo. There's also a sequel.. it's about the same as this one.

This is an exemplary teen summer movie. Appealing characters, boy meets girl, boy loses girl, bog gets girl. And it takes place at the Italian beach. It really can't be better. I've watched it twice and will watch it again.

The plot of the movie is neither original nor interesting. Another sexist italian movie whose (I hope little) success is essentially based on girls' beauty. The woman is nothing but an object of men's desire. Another wasted opportunity. Netflix should cancel this movie from their platform.
