Film Review – Find Me Falling

Harry Connick Jr. seemed primed for an acting career in the late 1990s, with the lauded musician finding his way in supporting roles (“Independence Day”) before graduating to more substantial parts (“Hope Floats”). For reasons not immediately understood, Connick Jr. moved away from thespian ambitions, taking smaller roles here and there for the last 15 years. With “Find Me Falling,” Connick Jr. is front and center in a romantic comedy about an aging rock singer looking for retirement peace in Cyprus, only to get caught up in family business in a tight-knit community. While not as wacky, the production certainly wouldn’t dismiss comparisons to the ”My Big Fat Greek Wedding” series, playing up the local culture and the lone American’s response to such intensity.
