Skip this one
This was one of two movies I rented this on Valentines Day for a romantic evening at home with the wife. Too bad we saved this one for the main feature. It was in a word- disappointing. How can one film a movie in one of the most beautiful places in the world and not take better advantage of the scenery? After all, it is suppose to be under the Tuscan sun. I have seen superior cinematography on the Travel Channel; nevertheless if this movie had a good story line, it may have redeemed itself.The story line: Middle-aged woman get jilted, middle-aged woman must start life over again and vacations to Tuscany, finds house, renovates house, finds love, loses love, finds friends. Oh, hum. Still, I could have enjoyed the movie, but like every Hollywood movie, or TV show lately it had to feature the homosexual lifestyle as a subplot. Middle age woman has homosexual friends. Middle-aged woman joins a homosexual Tuscany tour. Middle age woman has lesbian friend who stays with her who has baby courteous of who knows whom. (Is this child better off without a father? Why would a child want a father and a mother when he can have two mommies!). Hey, guys, this is supposed to be a romantic chic flick. So if you are looking for a or a nice romantic movie at home with the misses, skip this one.
