There are no real surprises here, except maybe one. It would never work, Finley warns us, and it seems she might as well be talking about this cornball movie. But thanks to something ineffable — Redgrave, leprechauns, moondust, or maybe just understated performances from two appealing protagonists — Finding You kinda, sorta does. Read full review

Effervescent performances from an ebullient ensemble make Finding You a palatable and compelling female coming-of-age tale. Read full review

I was intrigued to find that Finding You was not produced by an AI romance plot generator, but an actual book — Jenny B. Jones’ 2011 YA novel, There You’ll Find Me. Read full review

The scenery’s gorgeous, Redgrave and Bergin are pros, Tom Everett Scott is fittingly gross as the selfish stage dad and Goodacre has some charm. But the film forgot to graft a personality onto its protagonist and seems so determined to be PG-clean that sparks between the leads are … hard to “find.” Read full review

In short, domestic viewers in search of outrage may find themselves a tad disappointed. Read full review

Although the main characters in this romantic tale are meant to be just over 18, this Sky Movies release is manifestly aimed at a much younger market with its sex-free storyline and nice-girls-finish-first morality. Read full review

It’s as if Finding You was written by a computer program that studied 2000s rom-coms, taking the worst tropes and clunkily blending them together. Read full review

Every once in a long while you come across a movie with zero expectations and enjoy the heck out of it.

Predictable, happy ending. After a year plus of isolation and divisiveness I’ll take joy any time.

A violinist (Rose Reid) meets a movie heartthrob (Jedidiah Goodacre) on a flight to an Irish coastal village for a semester abroad. Because this film is predictable at every plot point, you can rest assured that they’ll be an item before it’s over.

Because this film is predictable at every plot point, you can rest assured that they’ll be an item before it’s over. The writers of this film decided that it was necessary to have several subplots to drag out the length and add no value (at least one of them features Vanessa Redgrave). With a romcom like this, you at least need interesting or quirky characters to make it special. Sadly, Reid’s performance as written is relatively bland, while Goodacre gets to flash his considerable dimples and the charm that goes with them. Ultimately, this is an inconsequential little romance without anything that sets it apart. Wild Mountain Thyme is a similar story set in Ireland did a much better job of showing off the scenery and creating a story with more interesting characters.… Expand

Scraping the barrel of stories for Teen / Young Adult, you come across works that are less and less plausible and convincing. If, moreover, the twist mistakes the motivational with the inspirational, then one gets bogged down in the territories of the Kendrick brothers.
