Find Me Falling

A half-step above your average Lifetime or Hallmark Movie, Find Me Falling stars Harry Connick Jr. as a aging musician hiding from the world, retreating to the place he was once happiest nearly two decades ago. Buying a house on a cliff in Cyprus known to locals as a good place to commit suicide, John isn't looking for anything more than seclusion and anonymity both of which go by the wayside when locals discover his identity and he runs into the love of his life (Agni Scott) still living in the same town.

Connick and Scott have good chemistry together despite the various obstacles the script throws at them, including a daughter (Ali Fumiko Whitney) she never told him about. The running gag of suicidal cliff-jumpers runs out of gas fairly fast but it too has an eventual payoff towards the end of the film further cementing John finding a home. Far from great, Find Me Falling is a still better-than-average romcom with a good heart and a nice song (especially when sung by Whitney who, for me, was the highlight of the film).
