Reviews for Under the Tuscan Sun
The movie is frothy and light and hasn't a brain in its head, but it's so beautiful to look at and so positive and uplifting, it's hard not to like.

While it starts very well indeed as a kind of blushing Shirley Valentine wannabe, the slide into syrup starts early on.
01/30/04
The only real depth here is in Lane's ability to convey lingering heartache despite having little call to do so from the script.
01/15/04
Under the Tuscan Sun goes for the picture postcard look-and-feel and it succeeds admirably, a flighty contrivance that's thin, lightweight, and instantly disposable.
01/13/04
A warm and luminous film.
11/10/03
Diane Lane was terrific.
11/02/03
The clear and simple plot is bogged down by too many characters and too many clichés.
10/22/03
The epitome of what a feel-good movie is supposed to be but rarely is, this one is beautiful to look at and life-affirming to think about, and it doesn't have a pretentious bone in its head.

Top Critic'Under the Tuscan Sun' does what pretty picture postcards are supposed to do—make you smile without saying much.
10/12/03
Lane's winning, beautifully measured performance effortlessly steals our affection and grounds the film's contrivances along the way.
10/09/03
Looked like a pic for tourists.
10/07/03
One of the better romantic comedies in recent years.
10/07/03
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
This is a delightful for the target audience and the rest of you out there will like it too.
