Being one of my favorite movies, I watched it on channel 36/ Family and I really enjoyed it. My mother and I watched it and she liked it too, her not really liking these kind of movies often. The movie gave me that warm feeling inside, for Diane Lane portrayed her role as Frances Mayes, a woman that wants romance after a divorce. The cover of the movie tells all, Frances standing by a window that overlooks some of Tuscany, a village in Italy. The movie is pretty simular to the book, but I liked the book more than the movie, most of the time I like the books that the movies is based on more than the movie. Frances Mayes is a writer that lives in San Francisco. Living happily, she then gets a divorce. She is forced to move out and then moves into an apartment filled with depressed people who also had a divorce. Then something good happens, her friend Patti (portrayed by Sadra Oh. I just love that name) becomes pregnant, she gives her ticket to Frances called "Gay and Away" in Tuscany. Going to Tuscany, she decides to live there and she buys a huge villa, hiring a group of men to help her fix it up a bit. The villa, Franches finds out, is pretty special to some people. Like, everyday an old man brings a couple of flowers and puts them in a container of some sort in front of the house on a ledge. Desperate for romance, she meets a guy named Marchello, on accident. Thinking they had an affair because she had sex with him, she finds out he has a girlfriend. An adventure of romance takes off when a lot of things start to happen to Franches, involving a wedding, a new love, and much more. The story is genius and this movie is not to be missed. The acting was suberb as it shows that Diane can portray a happy character, but then go to a really sad character. The cover is my favorite part, even though it's just something to look at. The cover gives the watcher a mood of "I want to watch this" because it just looks so beautiful. The saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" does not go along with this movie, because the movie lives up to the cover. This is extremley recommended! Hope you enjoy!

For many years every time I would pass this movie's box art I would almost pick it up. Then one day it made it's way to my dvd player at home... or via computer... doesn't matter. Somehow this has become the movie I watch for a 'boost' or just to view something pleasant after a taxing day. The scenery is exquisite...that alone is worth the watch. As a 'reformed film crew person' I appreciate the production values placed in every project. This effort has it all. Entertaining dialogue, rich characters, unexpected plot turns and a cameo special effect that stays with you well after the movie ends... a pleasant, enjoyable film to be watched time & again. It would be thrilling to see these characters now 7-10 years later, the villa so central to the story and the young married couple... are they still together? Who else has shared the journey with the great Frederico muse, Katherine (exquisite performance by Lindsay Duncan). Pawel Szajda who portrays the younger, Polish general construction laborer who finds true love at first site, is stunning in his first ever film performance. Much the same as Reese Witherspoons remarkable maiden performance in "Man in the Moon" with Sam Waterston and Tess Harper. If you do not feel some lifting of spirit after seeing this film... check your pulse :-) You won't be disappointed.Vollständige Rezension lesen

A really nice story of lost love and renewal. Frnces is jilted by her husband for a younger woman. After crying over her situation for too long she decides to accept a free trip to Tuscany from her friends. She falls in love with the country and the people and on a wild impulse she buys a villa. She is lonely and longing for love and family. Throughout the long, slow, process of restoring the villa life goes on until the place is completed. Suddenly she realizes that as time goes bye, she has received her wish. This is a fun and lighthearted movie. The kind of movie that makes you smile and feel good.
Under The Tuscan Sun This is a brilliant movie about a writer's newest book which she has titled "Under the Tuscan Sun." Frances, the writer--played by the completely beautiful and talented Diane Lane--has just gone through a terrible divorce. The story details her attempts to recover and find happiness again. Patti, the writer's best friend--who is played by the delightful Sandra Oh--does her best to see Frances land back on her feet. For either gender, this is a marvelous "chick-flick" (also my personal favorite) that I can watch over and over. I was very excited to find this movie here on eBay, and would buy it again if I thought I didn't have it.
