Under the Tuscan Sun

Diane Lane

Fortyish writer is hit with a divorce, takes a trip to Italy and impulsively buys a house in Tuscany.

The film is about the usual travails facing a woman alone in a foreign country...renovation hassles, integrating, etc.

This film distinguished itself with an uncommonly intelligent script that didn't go down all the expected paths. DL shone here with a believable, sympathetic characterization. The pleasant resolutions fell into clicheworld but since this was a romcom there really wasn't any other place for it to go.
