Whenever several of us daydream about taking a holiday on the Mediterranean, some of the things that come to our minds include the beautiful blue-green clear waters, the charming inland villages that are bunched on the coast, as well as the many forms of fish cuisine that can be found close by. This could possibly be the reason that rockstar John Allman (Harry Connick Jr) decided to take some time out of the hectic music scene to be able to enjoy some peace and quiet in the beautiful island of Cyprus. However, he is met with a more dire situation when a house on the cliff that he bought ends up being a location where people go to commit suicide. As he tries to understand who else among the locals he can go to to inquire how sonhe can possibly prevent the occurrence, he meets see up with a singer-wannabe girl named Melina (Ali Fumiko Whitney) with his mother, Sia (Agni Scott) who was a successful physician on the island and who in the past had an affair with John many years ago and who now has another opportunity for love.

Stelana Kliris, the writer and director of Lover’s Story, takes hardly any chances as she follows her first romantic feature film Committed with the second one Lover’s Story. This Surprising “Find Me Falling,” instead offers few surprises, so follows the return against the back drop of two such hunky male leads. subtitled ‘Do not jump’, which shows a suicidal tendency immediately on the front porch of John, the central male lead actor, is felt inappropriately because it contradicts the basic aspirations of a romantic comedy movie – light heartedness. The movie is titled “Find Me Falling”, which essentially removes the viewer’s hopes for anything too sweet. Some of the scenes handled with great care, or at least with pitch, include an angry John trying to make a depressed man who is about to commit suicide: “it is not the best moment for you to end your life”. The man feels ashamed and walks away, allowing John to finish his heated conversation with Sia. However, some go quite easy, as when John takes a frightened girl off the edge of a high building, ensuring her that everything will be alright, though it’s all the wrong techniques after a night in a Crazy tavern, with drinking and yes embarrassing romance on the beach.

Pouring herself into her role as Sia, Agni Scott portrays a modern-day woman who successfully balances both her career aspirations and motherhood. Her character transitions smoothly through the movie in a carefree yet fashionable manner. When acted in this manner, the performance comes across as excessively detached and uninterested. And while the characters may profess undying love for one another’s presence, sincere affection is noticeably lacking. The characters’ passionate encounters are not as thrilling as anticipated and are instead comparable to the level of intensity displayed during their disagreements.

But even more attention is given by Kliris’s script to Sia in relation, this time, not to the other protagonist of the film, but to her daughter, Melina, her cautious sister Koula (Lea Maleni) who is suspicious of this handsome man returning to Cyprus with more than just a sun tan and Marikou (Aggeliki Filippidou), the family’s matriarch who is always available to listen, dispense family advice and settle disputes. Here, a level of romance intertwines with family relationships, giving the story a sense of culture, place, and purpose rather than use it simply as narrative space. Even Captain Manoli (Tony Demetriou) is helpful, in taking John around the town introducing him to the taverna where John lays his eyes on Sia after so many years, and vice versa as John assists in addressing some of the issues he, and his family members have.

In the end, “Find Me Falling” does not land on a very firm ground. Niesmialowskas comic relief with her zany characteridisrupted Alphonses romance as dramatic moments and poorly written pop songs and lyrics intrude all of a sudden. (John’s major hit is the title “Girl on the Beach,” and the song is not more impressive than its title.) If viewers come expecting a light vacation romance, then this would be an unusual choice; think of substituting lime for a recipe that calls for lemon to make Greek cossa with lemon. It’s a shift in the identity of the movie that changes it for the viewer and gives them an aftertaste that is not very pleasant regarding an otherwise appetizing dish.
