Product: Under the Tuscan Sun (2003)
Rating: 3.0
An Average Movie that just spins it's wheels
While not a bad movie, it failed to hold my interest throughout as Diane Lane tried to find herself after a divorce.When Frances, a book reviewer and aspiring writer, discovers her husband is having an affair, she has a difficult time adjusting to life as a divorcee. When her friend offers her a ticket to tour romantic Tuscany, in an attempt to get her mind off her troubles, Frances decides to make the trip permanent. She buys a villa, hires people to help her fix it up, and looks for love all over again. This movie is all about love, but not necessarily love for Frances. It's about young love between a Polish worker and a teenage Italian girl; it's about love between a mother and her baby daughter; and it's about the love an old man has, which Frances is never really able to figure out.While the subplots and storylines help tell a general theme as Frances tries to discover whether or not love really does exist, it wasn't enough to hold my interest. You keep waiting for something, anything, to happen, but it really doesn't. As I said, it's not a bad movie, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you want a movie purely for the beautiful scenes of Tuscany.
