The message of the movie: you might just get what you wish for in life, but it may not look how you pictured it.

Scenery is great, and that is the main reason l borrow this movie. Story is poor. If truly based on actual events, l would baldly ask the writer to face the reality. You cannot separate love from life. And you cannot separae life from food…

Nice movie, one you can watch a couple of times a year and enjoy it each time. I don't there was a single unlikable character in the entire cast.

Watch it when it's dark, cold, wet and rainy out and it will lift your spirits. I cried in places. Not because it was sad either. Love the Fellini and Italian opera references.

Hallmark movie with a bit better cast and production.

Beautiful movie! Diane Lane is irresistible as Frances Mayes, a heart broken divorcee restoring her life and searching for love in a foreign land, which happens to be one of the most beautiful places on earth.

This is one of the very few times I will say that the movie was so much better than the book. By leaps and bounds.This is one of my favorites!

Very good movie. I'm more of a Star Wars and/or Star Trek fan, so this is not normally the kind of movie I watch, but I enjoyed it and my wife loved it. Very funny.

Diane Lane is 'GREAT' as Frances Mayes! I 'LOVED' her in this Movie. She captured her perfectly and her Portrayal of Frances was impeccable. I identified with Frances and was very sympathetic to her. I was truly inspired by what…

It’s one of my favourite movies. It’s a movie of hope and wishes come true, set in a beautiful land. The movie uses some cliches and stereotypes, but it is not racist if you have more than the surface knowledge of Italian history.

Racist. Wait for the scene where a German couple wants to rent the house. They are sterotypically depicted and called fascists. By a woman in Tuscany no less. Hmmmm where was Mussolini from? That good ol' Milano boy. Avoid.

A lot like Eat, Pray, Love I imagine (read that book but have not seen the movie).

So incredibly uninteresting! Nothing more than a reno story, riddled with some mediocre recipes. I expected to like this book so much more than I did.
