Diane Lane is so winning in this definite chick flick. Honestly if it had not been for Lane's inate charm this movie would have been a Lifetime movie of the week. All I could think of is, WOW, I thought San Franscisco real estate was in decline, but she seems to have an endless supply of money, and oddly she does not write the entire movie and she's suppose to be an..uh..writer. The one person she has real chemistry with, the realtor is married, so it's like, how is this going to work out? I really didnt like the don juan she meets in the oddest way in Rome, from the start you knew what he was, surprisingly she did not. The way the movie ends, is so abrupt, it's like..well, uh, o.k., we know nothing about this hirsuit man, but I guess she's happy. This is based on a memoir and it just seems so contrived, I dont know what I expected, but all and all I wish she had ended up with the married realtor, but then that would have been messy and this being a by the numbers chick flick, that just will not do. This just proved what i've always said, Diane Lane is so good, she can make anything soar, or at least get a little off the ground, she's not a miracle worker.
