Finding You is such a generic movie title, I had forgotten it a half-dozen times before I reached my desk to write this down. The movie itself is largely forgettable as well… and, in my book, overly long and excessively boring. More romance-leaning viewers might tolerate and even be engrossed by it though.

A young woman bombs out on her college violin entrance exam so she settles on a few months abroad in Ireland. There she runs into a conceited and yet boyishly handsome actor who is the leading man in a series of hugely popular dragon fantasy movies. She hates him… then she hates him less… then she realizes they are staying at the same bed & breakfast in a small Irish town. Can these crazy kids yada-yada-yada. You’ve know how this goes down.

It’s a strange movie. I honestly can’t say anything about it is incompetent. The actors are good, it’s directed and edited well enough, and the camera loves the pretty actors and the Irish countryside equally. There’s nothing technically wrong with it… but maybe there’s just too much of it. This doesn’t need to be a two hour film… but even if they cut it back by a half hour, I’d still find it starkly uninteresting and tedious. I’m afraid the characters don’t have enough character to be interesting. I don’t care if they get together… they are individually and together boring.

This movie probably doesn’t deserve such a negative review but I can’t stop myself. I was just so aggressively bored at nearly every minute of this flick. I suspect if even an ounce of this starkly romantic flick works for you, you’ll have a much better time though.
