Sotto il sole di Riccione

Nothing is new in this Italian sunny, charming teens in love comedy. But the actors, the scenarios and the lively narrative make it a refreshing gem, a must see Summer flick. Following his heart, a shy boy spends his Vacation at the Riccione's beach, trying to seduce his long time crush. This premise is only the beginning of many love affairs, discoveries and re-starts. There's a blind kid character who steals the scene as he becomes involved with a clueless girl. Well acted, colorful, funny, timely.

Or is it heartache? Sometimes it is the same, yes? Depending on your experience often times? Ok let's not go there. But young people having fun in the summer - what can go wrong? I know - I wasn't really expecting you to answer that either.

The movie is well intentioned at least and there are many feelings and even someone who has his sight impaired (is that the correct way to say that?), but still looking for love? And why not - using a pun here? I hope you don't mind.

Very nicely shot, do not expect this to be more than it is - a comedy that still is going to be able to touch your heart, if you are open for it of course. Flaws not withstanding - let's give a round of applause. Well sort of - and another pun intended.

An Italian romantic comedy. Put together various love stories of young adults that vary from vacation to a beach. Do you remember how "Roma with love" was linking the stories? Well this is exactly the same but without the script by Woddy Allen. Entertaining Quality. Predictable like all of its kind. It does not offer something that we have not seen before. Nice Sunday. Between the stories it brings one of a blind boy and that makes it slightly relevant.

Under the riccione sun. Or, in europe, it's sotto il sole di riccione. A group of twenty somethings gathers in riccione, which is on the adriatic side of italy. Near san marino, or rimini. It's a beautiful beach resort. Dancing, nightclubs. Volleyball competition. Even the sardine festival. Each person or couple is working thru their own issues... one even has his mother along. Where will it all end? It's a bit like the film porky's, but in italy. But the translation from italian to english is much better than the old days. Netflix is doing much better translating films for other countries now. Even when the film is just okay. Gets pretty silly near the end. Directed by niccolò celaia and antonio usbergo. There's also a sequel.. it's about the same as this one.

The movie is better than it looks. The plot is nothing new but it is still funny. Is refreshing and has a nice summer vibe. The scenary is amazing. All in all, well acted, colorful and funny.!
