Rating: 5.0
A romantic trip to Italy....I wanna go to Tuscany!
This film was a pleasant surprise. I figured there would be plenty of beautiful landscape (which there was) and I figured I would enjoy a nice romantic story. As it turns out, the story is a story of love, romantic love included of course, but also about the love of friends and family. The story centers around Frances, who after a bitter divorce, ends up in Italy and becomes drawn to an Italian villa that is a bit of a fixer-upper. On a whim, she buys the place and with a motley crew of workers, begins to restore the home. Slowly she begins to really live again, meeting kind neighbors and villagers and eventually finding romance. Diane Lane does a great job as Frances and the supporting cast does well with their roles too. I definitely plan to buy this on dvd.
