Summary: Diane Lane put on a great performance
Review: I thought this movie was great. If you are one of those that has faith and hope in things this is the movie for you! Diane Lane was great and I hope she gets and Oscar nomination for this roll! My boyfriend even liked the movie which says alot he's picky on everything. If you haven't seen it I suggest you do. I liked it so much it made me want to actually get the book and read it and I am not big on reading books at all.

Summary: Gutless garbage
Review: Ridiculous, nauseating doggerel with terrible acting; ineptly, superficially, and condescendingly trawling all the most banal cliches about Tuscany and Italy, divorce and midlife. The main actor nervously grimaces her way through the film, struggling to portray the appropriate level of smug, self-congratulatory self-pity the worthless character and script call for. I'm sure the book was bad, but it can't have been this bad! The camera is permanently fitted with a vomit-yellow "Tuscan" lense filter (perhaps the Tuscan sun wasn't Tuscan enough?), which they forgot to remove when the scene shifts to Rome and (how imaginative!) the Amalfi coast. You've never seen the white marble of Rome's Vittorio Emmanuelle monument looking so yellow... I mean Tuscan. One of the worst movies ever, and therefore quite worth a look.

Summary: Diane Lane shines in this wonderful movie!
Review: Oscar nominee DIANE LANE shines in this wonderful comedy about changing your life for the better after a devastating blow. The film is wonderfully made, very funny, very sexy, and beautiful to look at. The scenery is breathtaking and the acting by DIANE LANE is tremendous. This is a very, VERY highly recommended film and the DVD looks like it has some cool extras as well! 5 stars!

Summary: Uplifting and Beautiful
Review: The scenery in this film was breathtaking- the countryside, the house, the people, the food- the way of life in general was just inspriring. What made this movie great, though, was the romance between Frances and Marcello. In any typical romantic comedy, the broken-down and lonely Frances would have met Marcello and all her problems would have been solved. The end. But in this film, Frances thinks her life has turned around and that she has found the answer to her prayers....but, like in real life, this is not the case. I liked this movie because it didn't sugar-coat anything, but at the same time it was very uplifting.

Summary: Looks OK
Review: I'll buy if for nothing more than Sandra Oh. She is funnier than a barrel of chinese monkeys. Can't wait to see the scorpion fall down lane's blouse either. Wonder if she gets stung or her bum is boiled by the loo.

Summary: GREAT MOVIE! REALLY TOUCHING
Review: I THOUGHT THIS WAS A GREAT MOVIE. MY GIRLFRIEND AND I WENT TO SEE IT THE OTHER NIGHT AT THE CHEAPO THEATRE. IT WAS FANTASTIC I THOUGHT. IT WASN'T ONE OF THOSE GIRLY TYPES OF MOVIES I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE...IT WAS REALLY SWEET, AND I THOUGHT IT HAD A LOT OF NICE PARTS TO IT. I LEFT THE THEATRE WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE, AND SO DID MY GIRLFRIEND.
WE WILL FOR SURE GET THE DVD WHEN IT COMES OUT...I JUST HOPE THAT IT WILL HAVE SOME COOL EXTRA FEATURES. MAYBE SOME INTERVIEWS AND COMMENTARY OR SOMETHING.
GREAT MOVIE! SEE IT!!!

Summary: pleasant hour with stunningly beautiful countryside
Review: From the top it is how to get over a nasty divorce. Don't just live in a singles furnished apartment building but try to push yourself to experience passion and regain your innocence. The scenes of rural Italy are literally breathtaking. There are several places where fields of brightly covered flowers accent the hills and sky. The transformation of the brokendown house into a warm home is inspiring to anyone who has tried their hands at just such a task.
Her passion for food, friends, and romantic love is obvious and attractive. The best part is the supporting cast, from the crazy blonde acting out youthful movie fantasies, to 3 polish migrant laborers, to a (...) mom who follows the main character from San Francisco to Italy to give birth and be with her best friend.
There are nicely worked in themes of family, food, innocence and love, plus what it means to take chances. All tied together with passion and zest for living. It is a treat for the eyes as well as the heart.

Summary: Great Movie!!
Review: We saw this movie in the theater, and we absolutely loved it. We didn't want this movie to end. The scenery was wonderful. Anyone who has toured the Italian countryside or spent any time in Italy, would probably agree. The movie was funny, and whimsical with very moving parts as Diane Lane, who played the main character, reinvented her post divorce life in a new country.

Summary: Contemporary issues meet Art and Spirituality
Review: I found Under the Tuscan Sun to be a wonderful portrayal that we as human are at the whim of the chemistry of life and those who cross our path. Ultimately, life is about letting go of the old no matter how difficult. Lane plays an endearing main character who would cling to the old and society's definition of what she as a 30 something should have in her life at this time. By opening herself up to the novelty of life, her life unfolds in ways she doesn't expect (or even like at the time). The movie has a flow that keeps the viewer interested. The other characters play an inportant role in supporting the main character's mission to re-discover her life. The backdrop of Italy certainly heightened the romance of the movie. I didn't want the movie to end. At the end, the viewer is left with an invitation to not take things for granted and at the same time to shed those things in life that are stale and/or not working....and move on to accomplishing dreams that may have been sitting on the shelf. I have seen the movie three times.
