Opa! (2005)


"Opa!" is a romantic comedy set in Greece that stars Matthew Modine, a star from 80s rom coms.  The film is about an archaeologist who travels to Greece to look for St. John's cup.  While there he falls for the owner of a local taverna.  The two develop a courtship while the town is threatened to be torn apart by the archaeologist's dig.  He has to choose between love and his lifelong dreams through his career.  It is an interesting story that is slow at times, but has a refreshing ending.  I enjoyed the film, but probably won't watch it again.

It gets 3 out of 5 stars.
