Under the Tuscan sun

Based on the book by Francesca Maye, but fictionalised, whatever that means! The film's about a recently divorced American writer, acted by Diane Lane, who buys a villa in Tuscany on a whim. It is a diverting romantic comedy, with good support actors - Polish builders who refurbish the villa, a heavily pregnant friend from the US, played by Sandra Oh, and an eccentric very stylish English lady, played by Lindsay Duncan. Although it isnt the most sophisticated film I have ever seen, it is a warm story, and I just enjoyed a lot of the Italian settings and personalities.
