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

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
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

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
What redeems the film is its successful escapism, and Lane's performance. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Wells loads a cliched plot on Mayes' lighter-than-air memoir. full review

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 -
