One of the best things to do on a mopey evening is to curl up and watch a trashy movie and eat chocolate. Under the Tuscan Sun is a film directed by Audrey Wells, based loosely on the travel novel of the same name by Frances Mayes, who is played by Diane Lane.
With beautiful cinematography of the stunning Tuscan countryside, the film tells the tale of writer Frances' move to Italy, and her new life as she renovates the villa she impulsively buys. It is a typically Hollywood take on Italy, but good-humoured fun all the same. Still slightly upset that she ends up with Christopher from Gilmore Girls instead of the dashingly dreamy Raoul Bova though.
