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.

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

It’s not just a film that feels crafted by Mad Libs, but possibly by a middling A.I. with a soft spot for both “Notting Hill” and cinematic artifice that mistakes contrivances for drama and evolution.

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

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.

The supporting players are more interesting than the leads, who never make us care about them or root for them. And it’s fascinating to watch a brilliant talent like Redgrave and a game hoofer like Bergin try to lift this dead weight all by themselves.

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.

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. 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.

(Mauro Lanari) **** 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.
