‘Find Me Falling’ Review: Harry Connick Jr In Pleasant, If Slight, Mediterranean Island Rom-Com

It is hard to believe it has been 40 years since Eddie Murphy first exploded onto the screen as one of his signature characters, Axel Foley, in 1984’s Beverly Hills Cop. But even if that 22 year old is now 63, he is still on the beat and doesn’t miss a beat…
