On St. Patrick's Day a blog I read, The Wallflower Journal, featured an article how to visit Ireland without leaving your home. The author recommends a few movies, Finding You, being one of them. This movie is based on a young adult romance (rom-com) novel called There You'll Find Me by Jenny B. Jones.
Rated: PG
My whole family watched it with me (I am the only girl!) and seemed to enjoy it. Violinist Finley Sinclair decides to spend a semester abroad in Ireland after she fails to meet the qualifications for New York conservatory. Hoping for inspiration in Ireland, Finley is not thrilled to find an annoying teen-throb actor staying at the same bed/breakfast. He distracts her yet provides her opportunities to experience Ireland. As the semester progresses, she learns to peer past first impressions and appearances.
My one son stated he appreciated how numerous plots kept the movie extra interesting. Another bonus is the ability to view the stunning Irish sights and its culture. The movie ends with a direct reference to God, but only Christians would understand it. It seems like the novel was published with a Christian publishing company. However, God is not the focus of the movie.
*Highly recommend-a refreshingly fun movie for ages 12 and older .. it is definitely a "chic-flick" .
Heads-up-A couple of times some characters swear, scenes shot in a pub (drinking), two references to "finding me in the bedroom"
-Borrowed from the library.
