Review of Under the Tuscan Sun

Definitely a chick flick. Or a date movie. But it grabs you because of the beautiful scenery. It's your typical date/chic movie because of its plot..woman gets scorned, discovers self, grows in character, and starts all over with a happy ending. But Diane Lane makes it worth watching. She herself has definitely grown as an actor and it shows, she seems to keep getting better and better in her romantic roles; The Perfect Storm, Unfaithful, and now this one. This movie falls into my "cute and entertaining" category..with a bit of more of a focus on the woman in a "relationship" rather than both a man and a woman. The beautiful, breathtaking cinematography really captures your attention, if you haven't been to charming far and away places, you'll find yourself wanting to after watching this one. I give it a 7/10, above average, but not perfect because of the fundamental plot/outline..and of course, the predictable ending. Watch it for the sheer beauty of the location and Diane Lane's skill as an actor.
