Under the Riccione Sun

"Sotto il sole di Riccione" is a sun-kissed, feel-good summer film that whisks one into a reverie of nostalgia-those picturesque Italian seaside settings and the overall youthful energy. It has an ensemble cast, so be prepared for a refreshing charm as it captures the spirit of a group of friends meandering through love and friendship on a summer holiday. Despite this, how much the film borrows from familiar tropes in romance and a quite predictable plot line may be off-putting to some viewers who want something more in depth and originally, respectively. While it succeeds in light-hearted entertainment and brilliant visuals, its character development and emotional complexity are shallow and probably leave this film feeling like more of a summer fling than really one of the lasting cinematic impressions.

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.

It's okay that this movie is completely ridiculous and idiotic, with actors without any quality, a script that borders on stupidity, and a steakhouse musician soundtrack, ok, there is (bad) taste for everything. What can't be accepted is that such crap doesn't have at least the slightest concern in a cast that has about 8 to 10 main actors, about 10 to 20 supporting actors and about 1000 extras (counting the audience at the show, on the beach and in the nightclub), not having only one single person who is not white. Not a single one. I took the trouble to pause the scenes and do a search like "Where's Wally?" in the crowd at the final show and I didn't even find it. Thousands of people in more than 1 hour of projection and a parade of strictly 100 percent white people. 0 out of 10.

This is an exemplary teen summer movie. Appealing characters, boy meets girl, boy loses girl, bog gets girl. And it takes place at the Italian beach. It really can't be better. I've watched it twice and will watch it again.

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.

An entirely forgettable film, a serious contender for the mediocre triple crown of swiss cheese plot writing, uninspired acting and no discernible point. The scenes of the Adriatic shore - and sentimental longing for any kind of pre-covid social activities - were just enough to get me through watching the whole thing. Plenty of cringeworthy acting, but sadly not quite bad enough to be funny or memorable. The only recommendation I would have is that for a film about nothing, it could have stood to have been about 15 minutes shorter. This is the type of film that 10 years from now you will swear you have never heard of, and have absolutely no recollection of having ever seen.

Alright so first review, yay. first of all, I noticed lorenzo zurzolo was in this and was kinda shocked. canadian things yk. OKAY SO, it's honestly not horrible, just dragged on for too long. It's a regular teen movie marked under... comedy?? what? uh, ok netflix. i thought it'd be ranked under romance / drama but it wasn't, which is odd because i didn't really laugh. like sure some snickers but other than that it was eh. Nice bright colours, if that's anything hehe. ROMANCE ASPECT i skipped through most of it, sorry. I stayed for vinc? the blind dude, he was ight but some jokes fell flat, flatter than the earth yk. his romance with the girl was okay, nothing amazing BECAUSE SHE CHEATED ON HER BOYFRIEND. LIKE?? it wasn't that deep or anything either. uh some stuff to do with flashing the families at the beach with their 5 yr old children running around as 20 year olds get naked, uh. might want to rethink that one? OKAY ANYWAYS, the rest of the romances didn't stand out, i can't even remember them. The storyline with the adults was fine, mom was sort of annoying though, like girlie chill its okay to have fun. OVERALL hot people in milan italy, bland but it's an okay watch when you're bored at home because of covid. ALSO IS IT NORMAL FOR GERMANS TO GO TO ITALY? I WATCHED SUMMERTIME ( ok movie, boring tho ) AND THE LOVE INTEREST FOR THE DUDE IS GERMAN. HUH???

My expectations about this movie weren't quite high to be honest. Surprisingly I've found out that I was wrong. The plot is nothing we haven't already seen elsewhere, but the vibes, the young actors, the soundtrack, everything contributes, piece by piece, to convey a sense of summer feeling. Even a non Italian user should watch this, ad maybe fall in love with our country ;)!

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.!

The plot of the movie is neither original nor interesting. Another sexist italian movie whose (I hope little) success is essentially based on girls' beauty. The woman is nothing but an object of men's desire. Another wasted opportunity. Netflix should cancel this movie from their platform.
