My sister called from Maryland to tell us to watch it (we are in Washington). We'll be watching it tonight.

dina, it's a lovely film about a young editor who is sent to italy to convince a famous reclusive author to write another book after not having written for many years. it has a little bit of everything - comedy, inspiration, love... and beautiful scenery. i watched it two nights in a row, and would recommend it!

you might want to get another opinion though, i also loved the movie under the tuscan sun LOL

I'm a guy, and I liked it. It didn't appear to me, to be a "chick flick". I have not seen a movie set in Italy that I have not enjoyed, though.

Another guy vote. Not to mention that Claire Forlani, I mean the great Italian scenery was just mesmerizing! It’s on again Saturday, huh? hmmm….

It was one of those remote-control moments where I was flicking through trying to find something interesting when the wifey said, “Hold it right there!” Dang it all! I tried my best to look miserable at first, but anyone who likes travel will enjoy it from the get-go. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

In all seriousness (ahem) what appealed to me were scenes such as when Harvey Keitel who plays a writer connives with his local priest and drinking buddy to “tie one on” with the visiting young editor. Adds new meaning to the phrase “gotcha”!

Did my best not to give anything away….

Cool. I placed a reminder to watch it before and missed it, so I'll tape it this weekend.

I was intrigued because of Italy and because of Claire Forlani, she is one of my favs. For those who like her, see "Meet Joe Black". Great movie.

To cigalechanta ~ I love that IMBD site, it feeds my need for a behind the scenes look at my fav movies!

I'm so glad that I remembered to watch this movie; I set my DVR for 9:00 PM Central Standard Time, and it will record it until 11:00 PM. I'll watch it later at leisure!
