A good movie about second chances..
19 November 2005
I saw this movie a few weeks ago mainly b/c I went to Italy this year and wanted to see the landscape again, I have no idea what the movie was about and to be honest, I didn't even care.

Well I was really glad I bought this movie because I loved it. Sure it has some parts where you say "how is that possible?" but anyways, a movie is not meant to be realistic, it helps us to dream..

Well the movie is about Fran (Diane Lane), who's going through a tough divorce and is feeling completely miserable about it. Then her friends buy her a tour to go to Tuscany, and of course, she goes. After a while she feels so enchanted by it's magic, that she decides to buy a house there. The whole movie almost starts from that point, she'll meet a lot of people who will change her life forever indeed.

I liked the performances, Diane Lane is funny and serious when she has to be, I thought she did a great job. Everybody else in the cast does a great job as well. And the landscaping is gorgeous, I'd say that's another character of the movie.

Anyways this movie has a couple of twists (can't find another way to call it) and it's very entertaining, so rent it or better yet, buy it! I give it a **** out of *****
