Eric (Matthew Modine) is an archeologist seeking to verify his father's claims that the cup of St. John the Divine is buried on the Greek island of Patmos. Arriving on the island by ferry eager to begin work, Eric discovers that live moves more slowly on the island after meeting his father's old friend and colleague Tierney (Richard Griffins). When Eric is introduced to Katerina (Agni Scott) -- a single mother and the owner of a popular local café -- his growing feelings fort her are complicated by the fact that the very treasure he seeks is said to be buried directly beneath her restaurant. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News
As standard uptight-American-unbuttons-himself-abroad movies go, director Udayan Prasad's gentle, unexceptional romance is exactly what you'd expect.
-
Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
Everything is flat except for the island's picturesque mountains, but you can look at those for only so long.
-
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
Opa!, a sweet, nontaxing movie set in the gorgeous Greek Isles, has a bit of a black hole at its center named Matthew Modine.
-
Cary Darling, Dallas Morning News
An amiable if easily forgotten story of middle-age romance set amid the sun-splashed Greek Islands.
-
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
The water is blue, the women are beautiful, the guys are hunky and the ouzo flows without end. So do the clichés.
