Full Plot Details

Frances Mayes is a San Francisco-based literature professor, literary reviewer and author, who is struggling in writing her latest book. Her outwardly perfect and stable life takes an unexpected turn when her husband files for divorce. He wants to marry the woman with whom he is having an affair. Frances supported her husband financially as he was writing his own book, and he sues her for alimony despite her financial difficulties. And he wants to keep the house. Frances eventually accepts her best friend Patti's offer of a vacation, a gay tour of Tuscany which Patti and her lesbian partner Grace originally purchased for themselves before Patti found out that she is pregnant. The gift is a means to escape dealing with the divorce, from which Patti feels Frances may never recover emotionally without some intervention. Feeling that Patti's assessment may be correct in that she has too much emotional baggage ever to return to San Francisco, Frances, while in Tuscany, impulsively ditches the tour to purchase an aged villa, which ends up being a fixer-upper. Frances has many obstacles in eking out a productive and happy life in her new surroundings, that happy life which she hopes will eventually include rediscovering romantic love. In a discussion with sympathetic real estate agent Signor Martini, Frances outlines what emotionally she wants to accomplish with the villa, despite none of those items in a substantive material sense currently being in her life. In response, Martini tells her the story of a set of railroad tracks that were laid between Vienna and Venice before an engine that could make the trek being built, a train which now regularly travels the route. The question becomes whether Frances, in going through the process, will be laying another Vienna to Venice track, and if so whether that end product emotionally will be exactly as she envisions.

Movie Reviews

Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 9/10 by William ArnoldDiane Lane overplays many scenes, she tries way too hard to be ingratiating and, in many other ways, it's one of the least of her performances.
www.susangranger.com - 9/10 by Susan GrangerThe heroine has become a lonely divorcee, resulting in an unexpectedly added depth to the story. It's surprisingly satisfying, recommended for anyone who's ever wondered if there really are second chances.
One Guy's Opinion - 9/10 by Frank SwietekPart travelogue and part Lifetime liberated-woman-of-the-week movie...little more than a standard-issue (and standard-tissue) women's picture.
Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 9/10 by Rob ThomasThere's really nothing new "Under The Tuscan Sun."
TheMovieChicks.com - 9/10 by Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann PaloneIt's lush, funny and has poignant moments that make you want to get out your passport and go find your own adventure.
Reno Gazette-Journal - 9/10 by Forrest HartmanOne of those films that I could watch again and again.
Oregon Herald - 9/10 by Mark SellsA charming, highly entertaining romantic adventure full of life, spectacular vistas, and sensual delight.
Laramie Movie Scope - 9/10 by Robert RotenOne of the better romantic comedies in recent years.
EDGE Boston - 8/10 by David FoucherSensual, luscious, vibrant filmmaking, and not a single frame of it is tepid or mundane.
MovieFreak.com - 8/10 by Sara Michelle FettersAnd while the movie gets a bit too cute and cloying at times, especially when it dips into tired sentimentality, Lane carries it all marvelously, lighting up the screen with one of the year's best performances.
