Verdict: Well, apart from the annoying voiceover, Lane's performance gives this picture postcard-scenario a hint of depth, but even then it leaves little for Lane to do besides chuckle at setbacks as if they were naughty children! 'Under The Tuscan Sun' is a sickly-sweet scented candle of a movie, and one that could easily be a Lifetime movie channel chick-flick, movie-of-the-week! That said, 'Under The Tuscan Sun' is definitely a beautifully shot motion picture, but there's no doubt that the lush scenery upstages the actors! Ultimately, it just shows how far Diane Lane can carry a flawed picture.
