It's a movie!
I saw this movie today and personally, I really liked it!! I dreaded watching this with my mother at first, but it's not your typical chick-flick movie! A heartbroken woman escapes to Tuscany, Italy to restart her life. Now, some of you may call this an unrealistic way to face your pain. But IT'S A MOVIE, for crying out loud!! I don't know about other people, but I like to watch movies to ESCAPE from reality! I face enough of reality as it is. I don't care to watch it embedded into the form of a film. It's pretty sad when we watch so much reality t.v. that it sucks the imagination out of our closed off minds! And while this movie may not have a direct plot, I think that it teaches a few good lesons. For example, what you wish for may not always come in the form that you want it to (Pawel's wedding, Patti's "family"). And also, just like an earlier review states, it truly is possible to move on after tragedy! Overall, this is just one those movies that gives you a little something to think about afterwards. And God forbid we actually think about what we're watching every once in a while!!
