Summary: Relationships in Tuscany
Review: This is a lovely movie set in the stunning beauty of Tuscany. It deftly explores several types of relationships from that of a recent divorcee, to the break up of a gay union to young lovers in a Romeo and Juliet type romance. The divorcee finally discovers that a meaningful relationship doesn't depend on one person but a variety of people. Well worth seeing - you will enjoy it!

Summary: LOVED THIS MOVIE!
Review: Loved the movie; loved the scenery; loved the acting; loved the music; loved the story line. This is NOT the chick flick that the trailers make it out to be. Okay, they don't blow things up (although they almost demolish her house...does that count?). It's also not the cut and dried story line that you are expecting. But it does make you feel good at the end. And for that alone, when Hollywood is churning out such dribble as ANGER MANAGEMENT, it gets my vote! This is one of those movies that makes you want more...I want to come back in a year and see how Frances is doing...how many movies can say that?

Summary: One of the most pleasant and likeable films this year!
Review: UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN starring Academy Award nominee DIANE LANE is without doubt one of the most pleasant and likeable films this year. It is very endearing - it is funny (hilarious even), touching, beautiful and wonderfully acted and written. The dialog is witty and the characters are well rounded. A really beautiful, pleasant and entertaining film. Very enjoyable!

Summary: The biggest surprise of the year! This film is a marvel!
Review: We'll I'm not usually one to go to see comedy-romance films but my girlfriend insisted and I was persuaded by the fact that Diane Lane (one of my favorite actresses) was starring in it. Honestly, this is a very good movie. It is one of the best surprises of the year. The film is edited in a way that never makes it seem boring or long-winded and the film is very (I mean very) entertaining, with some great dialog and some excellent comedy and well-timed laughs. A few times I was uncontrollably laughing it was so funny. The acting was amazing with Diane Lane giving one of her best performances in the lead role as Frances Mayes. The film looked great and had an excellent soundtrack as well. I recommend this film very much indeed, even to guys because it isn't cliched and slushy in the same way other romantic films are. It sure makes a great date movie - Under The Tuscan Sun is a marvel!

Summary: Laughs aplenty. Enthusiastic and superbly made.
Review: It flies by with laughs aplenty. Enthusiastic and superbly made comedy-romance. Under the Tuscan Sun is a superbly made comedy-romance and it has heart and soul in abundance. It is also the kind of film that cries out to be seen on the big screen. The scenery and the food share (yummy!) lot absolutely breathtaking. The glorious, sun-soaked cinematography is by a Geoffrey Simpson who does a fantastic job. Director Audrey Wells gives us a pleasant change of scenery with very enjoyable companions some cool twists and turns and very warm and entertaining movie. Diane Lane is at the top of her game here and carries the film with vitality and enthusiasm. In ending - Under the Tuscan Sun is a very fresh and enjoyable comedy with a wonderful confidence in itself. The stars and scenery are top class and the film flies by with laughs aplenty - just what we want in a good vacation - and a very good film. Recommended.

Summary: A LUSCIOUS AND DELICIOUS FAIRY-TALE!
Review: After watching UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN, I'm ready to pack my bags. What a lovely movie! This film reminds me of a Rosemund Pilcher novel; you sort of know what is going to happen yet the ride is very sweet and beautiful. Plus, you know there will be no shoot-outs, rapes, murders, or real evil people to upset the viewer. This film is about a broken young woman who is given a tour of Tuscany. Impetuously she buys a run down villa and hires three Polish gentlemen to repair it. Is this what my High School English teacher called a metaphor? As the beautiful villa is repaired, so is Francis' soul. This film is about friends, relationships, love and healing. Diane Lane is absolutely wonderful, such a great actress. This movie will tug at your heart, a marvelous fairy-tale where everyone lives happily ever after! I absolutely loved this movie!

Summary: A very special movie! Lovely!

Summary: NOT Your Standard Romantic Comedy
Review: I haven't read the book, and from reviews I've read, if you've read the book, the movie seems to fall short. But if you take this movie as a visually stunning masterpiece, you won't be disappointed. There are so many subtleties that capture the essence of the story without actually spelling it out for you. And it's NOT a typical romantic comedy. It's more a story about LOVE and life, appreciating what you have and finding the beauty in the smallest things. The humor is charming, the images extraordinary. Diane Lane is SUPERB in her role, and all the characters are endearing. This is a heart-warming, captivating movie that should be experienced by everyone!
