A pleasant way to spend an evening
Diane Ladd plays a woman who has just been unceremoniously dumped by her husband. In an attempt to cheer her up, her two friends offer her tickets to go to Tuscany. While she's there, she impulsively buys a villa and then wonders what she's gotten herself in for. She hires an eccentric group of Polish workers and sets about rebuilding the villa and her life. There are a few bumps along the way, but she finally succeeds. The scenery in this movie is breathtaking and it alone is worth the price of admission. There are times when the overacting is painful and there are several lapses in credibility but all in all it's a pleasant way to spend an evening.
