Product: Under the Tuscan Sun (2003)
Rating: 4.0
Not for everyone...granted...
Alright first of all yes I am a man, and yes I did go see this movie to please my girlfriend, however I liked it so much that I ended up buying her the DVD...just so I could watch it again. The story in itself is pretty much standard if you take away some of the twists, girl by herself, girls meets guy, seems to lose guy, but everything works out in the end....nothing too shocking there for I have to say that not only does Diane Lane make the movie work she actually makes it enjoyable to watch. First of all as someone who has traveled through Italy I felt the way the country was depicted was amazing, there are some stunning visuals in this movie that will make you want to book the first flight to Tuscany, incredibly stunning landscape. I believe that this movie has a great combination of humor, romance, a little drama and some feel-good attitude.Although it might have gone a little too long for my taste (hence the 4 stars instead of 5) I believe that watching Diane Lane fixing up the house and then experiencing Tuscany is a journey that is pleasurable to watch from start to finish, if you are a woman and want to watch a movie that is going to make you feel good, this is the one...and guys if you have an anniversary coming up and you already bought her Sleepless in Seattle last year then I can recommend this one, I have a feeling she'll like it.
