Find Me Falling (2023)

I have been traveling almost non-stop these days and one of the many things I like to do when I am alone in a hotel room is to watch movies that the rest of my family would not care for--which includes movies like this and more broadly, silly romantic comedies this improbable situations and outcomes that require the suspension of belief. This is also a good example of a flawed IMDB rating. This is a pretty so-so movie that has a higher than expected audience rating (and I say that as someone with a weakness ofr this sort of fare). The setting is Cyprus, which is gorgeous--one up side of the movie is that a visit to the long-inhabited island moved up from a 'maybe' to a 'definite' on my "Must Visit" list of countries. The scenery as well as the window into the culture, which is both ancient and complicated, are the best part of the movie.Harry Connick Jr. is a bit of a wooden actor, but he plays an aging rock star who has returned to Cyprus at a point when his career has stalled and he is pulled back to a place when he last found love. He isn't quite ready to heal, and on top of that he finds some surprises that he left behind, and while people are wary of what his motives are, it all more or less works out.
