Be ready to book a flight to Europe after the flick -- or at least spring for some good Chianti.

A fun movie to sit through even when you don't always buy it.

compared to Lane, pretty much everything else in this film falls flat
10/01/03
With a performance of such depth and beauty it overshadows the film's gorgeous Italian scenery, Diane Lane owns the screen in 'Under the Tuscan Sun.'
10/05/03
Despite its overly pat plot and a glaring lack of conflict, Lane pretty much saves the movie.

Top CriticAlternately helped, hindered and (best) left alone by first-time director Wells, Lane fills the screen with her perceptive presence and lifts the undramatic story as high as gravity allows.

Top CriticIt's lush, funny and has poignant moments that make you want to get out your passport and go find your own adventure.
09/26/03
Tuscan is not deep -- it only wants to make us happy for a couple hours -- but it has a few surprising moments that pull us into the characters' stories.
09/25/03
Lane's winning, beautifully measured performance effortlessly steals our affection and grounds the film's contrivances along the way.
10/09/03
Diane Lane was terrific.
11/02/03
The movie is sweet but deeply suspect: It's like Lost Horizon re-imagined by a realtor.
