Critic Reviews
Under the Tuscan Sun pretends to be juicy, but it doesn't allow any dribbles. It purports to make love all over us, but not without laying down lots of paper towels first. full review
Despite the formulaic plot, which seems to belong on the Lifetime channel, Wells has a knack for witty dialogue that keeps things moving along. full review
The only real downside to the film is what it's likely to do for Italian tourism. After this, the deluge. full review
While both the scenery and star Diane Lane are highly watchable, the movie is pure froth, a plate-sized helping of zabaglione. full review
What redeems the film is its successful escapism, and Lane's performance. full review
Wells loads a cliched plot on Mayes' lighter-than-air memoir. full review

October 22, 2006I love this movie, above all "she" is so lovely, beautiful.
Indeed I want to meet someone like her, a romantic woman, not interested, not proud, someone who enjoys the beach & landscapes as those in the movie.
E si parla L´Italiano molto megliore -
