Lovely chick flick with endearing characters. Diane plays these roles perfectly. Anyone that has been through a breakup could relate to the roller coaster of emotions you go through to get through it, this movie does a great job of displaying them

If you love all thing European, you’ll love this movie. It’s about finding your place in the world after your world falls apart. The themes of Love, friendship, happiness, loneliness but essentially life. The ‘la dolche vita’ of life. A life of love. Highly recommend watching and watching again if you have before or maybe watchmore thantwice!

Have to agree with previous reviewers who loved it (esp. 'ourberwick'). Yes it's a "lovely chick flick". More in a minute. If you buy it because you love Frances Mayes' book of the same name, you may be disappointed. I am a big fan of Ms Mayes, but much artistic licence was taken with the subject matter and the film Audrey Wells' eventually released to the world, bears no resemblance to the real life story of Frances Mayes the author and her Ed. Okay. What's not to love about the film? Suspend your belief systems. This is a feel-good, girl's trip to Italy. If you don't like this kind of movie, don't watch it ! The story line is engaging, the characters endearing, and the scenery stunning (the filming in Positano alone is worth watching the film for). This is a movie I'd watch on a Friday night, when the work week has finished, put my feet up, glass of vino in hand, and enjoy (dolce far niente). Another reviewer mentioned the roller coaster of divorce which kicks off this film. Endings and beginnings - one of the themes. Despair and hope. Sadness and joy. Build it and they (he) will come. There is always a time and place for renewal in all our lives. Dolce vita !Read full review

Overall a good movie. That said, a little slow and directionless in parts. Dianne Lane saves it, through a very capable performance.
