Find Me Falling - Un'isola dove innamorarsi

Forget about all the other aspects of this movie that you may, or may not, like. The star of this movie is Cyprus, the beautiful Greek island invaded by and partitioned by the Turkish government in the 1970's. Its landscapes, culture, music, and actors are worth the price of admission here. The story of Harry Connick Jr's return to the island, as an aging American rock star, is very enjoyable. I don't love Connick's acting in this one. His attempts to be edgy are not really suited to him, but he is still a likable presence. The story is a Rom-com, with more emphasis on the Romance than the Comedy. It is enjoyable and I liked it.

This fit for me on a lazy Sunday night. A romance, not unlike a Lifetime romance, only with a better caliber of acting. It was predictable and any twist in the action was easily figured out way before it happens. There's something to be said about this kind of watch though. It's not Sound of Music or Gone With the Wind, but it does have its place. It's for a time when you don't have to think too much, nor do you want to. It's just to enjoy a sweet second chance romance with a good cast from courtship to happily ever after. There is music involved too. Trigger warning of the subject of suicide as a kind of back story. No part of the cast dies or anything. Just be aware.

Harry Connick Jnr we love you and so good to see you back in movies!

Such a beautiful setting,movie and music focussing on friendship,family values and lost love with a wonderful cast of local Greek actors.

Also refreshing seeing an age appropriate Gen X relationship for once. For me it was a cross between a Mamma Mia type storyline with dominant female characters and yet also a Crazy Heart type feeling without the country and western vibe. I wish more movies like this were produced providing such a non Hollywood vibe supporting local indépendant actors filmed on location in such a beautiful part of the world. More like this please 😊

Cyprus set romantic comedy - sort of 'ish(!) - about an ageing rock star who returns to the island in semi-retirement and rekindles a long-ago love affair with the girl he left behind on his way to fame 'n fortune. Beautiful location and a reasonable attempt at the rom-com genre, with Harry Connick Jr playing the lead and a decent cast providing the support, in particular Ali Fumiko Whitney. It's enjoyable and watchable if a little clunky and predictable at times, script and dialogue are ok and the run time is about right, it doesn't drag but gently winds its way to the conclusion we all know is coming. An easy going feel good movie that provides enough to make it worth a watch...

Cyprus is a perfect backdrop to a story about love, hope, family and empathy. With Harry Connick as the lead we ease into a story of lost love and new friends with beautiful music. What's not to like. Wish the character development was a little deeper but this one was refreshing and light. I especially appreciated the way all the women shared supportive energy. The way all the characters filled out the story made a sure comedy win. I remember meeting a group of guys from Cyprus who ran a fish shack in London. It was the most inviting little place with charm and humor. Even though they were just selling fish and chip they made you want to stay all night and just talk. This film expresses the hospitality of Cyprus. Just hang out and talk.
