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.

Cyprus is a perfect backdrop to a story about love, hope, family and empathy. With Harry Connick as the lead we ease into a story of lost love and new friends with beautiful music. What's not to like. Wish the character development was a little deeper but this one was refreshing and light. I especially appreciated the way all the women shared supportive energy. The way all the characters filled out the story made a sure comedy win. I remember meeting a group of guys from Cyprus who ran a fish shack in London. It was the most inviting little place with charm and humor. Even though they were just selling fish and chip they made you want to stay all night and just talk. This film expresses the hospitality of Cyprus. Just hang out and talk.

John Allman (Harry Connick Jr.) is an aged one-hit rocker. His latest album flopped. He moves into his newly purchased house on Cyprus. Unbeknownst to him, it's on top of a cliff where many people go to commit suicide. He befriends local sassy singer Melina (Ali Fumiko Whitney). He reconnects with old flame Sia (Agni Scott) who is the subject of his one big hit.

Harry is good at depressed while being slightly funny. I always like Harry even in bad movies. In this one, I like all the other characters as well. I really like that Melina sees him as ancient. I did worry about Hollywood doing Hollywood things until it becomes obvious who she is. There is a big confrontation and that's really the high point of the movie. The movie runs out of drama. It really needs one more issue to top off the drama. All in all, I like the characters. The awkward issues resolve themselves and it's an enjoyable watch.
