A brief and incomplete Irish-related Hollywood romcom highlight reel includes THE MATCHMAKER where comedian Janeane Garofolo goes to Ireland, followed by Amy Adams who also flees to Ireland to propose to a man in LEAP YEAR. Now in 2021? There’s FINDING YOU from Roadside Attractions coming on May 14, with actors you have mostly never heard of except the supporting veteran cast members Patrick Bergin and Vanessa Redgrave.

But don’t let the lesser known-love interest leads of Rose Reid and Jedidiah Goodacre throw you.

Remember when Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were lesser-known in the Twilight franchise? No, this isn't about vampires, but it does feature CGI dragons as part of the subplot, movie-within-a-movie.

It's Movie Star Boy meets Violinist Girl, mostly...

Prepare to Be Charmed by Lucky Lovers in FINDING YOU

Here’s the corned beef official blurb ;)

FINDING YOU is an inspirational romantic drama full of heart and humor about finding the strength to be true to oneself.  After an ill-fated audition at a prestigious New York music conservatory, violinist Finley Sinclair (Rose Reid) travels to an Irish coastal village to begin her semester studying abroad. At the B&B run by her host family, she encounters gregarious and persistent heartthrob movie star Beckett Rush (Jedidiah Goodacre), who is there to film another installment of his medieval fantasy-adventure franchise. As romance sparks between the unlikely pair, Beckett ignites a journey of discovery for Finley that transforms her heart, her music, and her outlook on life. In turn, Finley emboldens Beckett to reach beyond his teen-idol image and pursue his true passion.  But when forces surrounding Beckett’s stardom threaten to crush their dreams, Finley must decide what she is willing to risk for love.

Written and Directed by: Brian Baugh

Based on the Book: "There You’ll Find Me" by Jenny B. Jones

Stars: Rose Reid, Jedidiah Goodacre, Katherine McNamara, Patrick Bergin, Saoirse-Monica Jackson, with Tom Everett Scott, and Vanessa Redgrave.

FINDING YOU is a NOTTING HILL-style Movie Star fish-out-of-water story to make you smile. Coming this Spring, on May 14, from Roadside Attractions.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
