Under the Tuscan Sun is a charming, feel-good escape that doesn't pretend to be more than it is—but the middling reviews suggest it's predictable and a bit saccharine. Watch it if you want a breezy, low-stakes romantic fantasy; skip it if you're looking for something with real substance or originality.

Plot

Frances Mayes, a 35-year-old professor and writer from San Francisco, decides to take a tour of Tuscany following a difficult divorce. After impulsively buying a run-down villa in the Italian countryside, she begins to piece her life back together in unexpected ways.
