Under the Tuscan Sun (2003)

Written and Directed by: Audrey Wells

Touching and entertaining American romantic comedy set mainly in Italy. All the Italian cliches are there, but since they are commented by the characters they kind of enrich. Not so few scenes have a shallow and low-budget feeling over them, and Italy and Italians are portrayed in a very stereotype, exterior way, but the greater heart and joy of the story embraces us and makes us forgive the faults. Under the Tuscan Sun is a soul-rich film about hope and meaning that is brave enough to include also life’s difficulties.
