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 😊

This is more of a Family movie than a Romance.. and as you could expect, it resparks more than old relationships. The script is quite simple and straightforward (and rather cheesy at times), but it has a good and satisfactory conclusion! It does feel like it is everything they wanted to make, even if it could feel like it falls short from greatness. But it is one of those films that don't have to wow the viewer, as long as it delivers a consistently good story with decent execution.
Saw it in non-English (songs in original voices), but did not deter me from finding the cast to be likeable enough to enjoy it for what it is.

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.
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...
A small film from Stelana Kliris, a newcomer filmmaker who is a South African-Cypriot woman. This is the first Cypriot film to be released worldwide through Netflix. Previously, she had only worked on small short films. However, for her first full-length feature, it's incredible how well she both wrote and directed it, surpassing the quality of many Netflix Original productions.
A small romantic comedy that stands out in many ways, surpassing many original Netflix productions. From the unique plot details centered around the "most popular suicide spot and love", which the story intertwines deeply with the complex romantic past of the male lead who is a former rock star. The film also incorporates music, seamlessly blending it into the story as if it were a musical. I highly recommend not overlooking this small film.
