Description
From the studio that brought you SWEET HOME ALABAMA comes the extraordinary romantic comedy starring Academy Award(R) nominee Diane Lane (2002 Best Actress, UNFAITHFUL). Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling book, UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN follows San Francisco writer Frances Mayes (Lane) to Italy as a good friend offers her a special gift -- 10 days in Tuscany. Once there, she is captivated by its beauty and warmth, and impulsively buys an aging, but very charming, villa. Fully embracing new friends and local color, she finds herself immersed in a life-changing adventure filled with enough unexpected surprises, laughter, friendship, and romance to restore her new home -- and her belief in second chances.

Though she made her first movie at the age of 13, Diane Lane has only blossomed into a true star in her 30s, and Under the Tuscan Sun marks her full flowering. After a brutal divorce, Frances (Lane, Unfaithful, A Walk on the Moon) is persuaded by her friend Patti (Sandra Oh) to take a tour of Italy--where, on a whim that she hopes will rescue her from her desperate unhappiness, she buys a rundown villa and sets out to renovate it. Along the way, she gets advice from a former Fellini actress, meets a scrumptious Italian lover, and helps support Patti after her own relationship derails. The conclusion of Under the Tuscan Sun holds no surprises, but the deft turns and observations along the way are delightful. Lane carries the film effortlessly but surely, exuding both heartbreak and re-awakening passion. --Bret Fetzer

WONDERFUL ACTING, GREAT SETTING, BUT A WELL-WORN SCRIPT December 27, 2008
Diane Lane gives another wonderful performance in this likeable, though familiar movie. Sandra Oh is also quite funny. UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN is beautifully filmed, with few surprises. The characters are interesting, but Lane does more than a little heavy lifting to keep the unoriginal script working. Still she does it without breaking a sweat, and with such flair that the plot becomes forgivable, and pretty much secondary. Of course, the Italian scenery adds a lot to the flavor.
 Opposing View of Divorce December 24, 2008
The heart break and loss from a womans point of view,abused by the court system, robbed of her hard earned home and possessons to a new and very different life in a strange country and different culture. Ms. Lanes best effort in an attention holding and often surprising, recovery. Beautiful scenery and superior directing make this one of movie lands best kept secrets.
Feel Good Flick December 16, 2008

Outstanding Movie October 6, 2008
This is one of Diane Lanes best performances I have had the privilege of watching. It covers a spectrum of emotions. The story line takes you thru many ups and downs. The scenery is also excellent. Worth the price !
