Rating: 4.0
A Terrific First Course
My wife and I saw Under the Tuscan Sun at a sneak preview screening and enjoyed it tremendously. Fans of the book shouldn't have too many issues with the creative license taken, although I felt like I would have liked to have seen more about the culture and the house worked into the story, and less emphasis on some of the added characters such as the eccentric lady in the village.The movie kept me laughing and even stirred up a few tears, and only crossed the line into camp a couple of times. Overall it is a good solid romantic comedy with integrity, good performances, and beautiful photography. Warning: it may make you want to pack for a trip to Europe.
