‘Find Me Falling’ Review: Harry Connick Jr. Sings and Shines in Netflix’s Big Fat Greek Rom-Com
Harry Connick Jr. plays a musician who journeys to Cyprus and reunites with a past love in 'Find Me Falling,' a disarming Netflix charmer.
With “ Find Me Falling,” writer-director Stelana Kliris offers a pretty good getaway: a breezy 90-minute armchair vacation to a quaint, sun-swept paradise for a sand-and-salt-infused romantic comedy about Mediterranean folks taking leaps of faith. New Yorker John Allman ( Harry Connick Jr.) can relocate to a tiny village and hole up in a remote shack perched on the jagged cliffs of Cyprus, but he’ll never escape himself — or rather, his chart-topping single “Girl on the Beach.” It plays constantly on the radio decades after its debut. Connick Jr. is by no means a stranger to rom-com territory, having starred in the likes of “Hope Floats” and “New in Town.” Still, he shades in this hero differently, showcasing an acerbic wit missing from those films, along with some broken-hearted tenderness and brief glimpses of physical comedy — applying aloe on his back using a doorframe and putting up a fence while sloshed.
