UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN
I read a scathing review elsewhere about this film, trashing it because it strayed too far from the book it was based on. Since I hadn't read the book, and had no preconceived notions about what to expect, I found it to be a delightful film.
It stars Diane Lane as a recently divorced book reviewer. The divorce has left her devastated in more ways that one. A girl friend convinces Diane to accept a free airline ticket to Italy. She eventually accepts the free offer, goes to Italy and after buying a Villa on a whim, ends up staying there. The rest of the film deals with her efforts to regain her self-confidence as a woman, as well as her self-esteem, which does happen as she becomes involved in the lives of her many new European friends.
This is not a tear-jerker love story so I do believe men will enjoy this as much as their female companion(s), and let's fae it, Diane Lane is pretty easy on the eyes, and a very good actress to boot.
The audio isn't anything spectacular, with the exception of a horrendous thunder and lightening storm that's a bit hair-raising, but the picture quality is a knockout, and the Italian/Tuscan scenery will leave you breathless.
Under The Tuscan Sun is a nice evening's entertainment that is not overly sentimental, and will leave you laughing at times. A wonderful change of pace from bing bam boom movies.
