I don't know why people don't like this film - I LOVED it. I'm a sucker for romance stories and I love Italy so much. I love the idea of Frances just being on this quest to put herself back together and finding ways to do that and still believing in all the good things in life. I love Sandra Oh and that Kate Walsh even had a roll. I love even more than they played lovers and then went on to do Grey's where they obviously were nemeses because of Christina's loyalty to Meredith.

I loved this film. I want to be Frances. I wanted to be Pawel, I wanted to be Chiara, and somehow I wanted to be Katherine too. You find something to love about every character and you end up finishing the film with a little piece of your heart with each of them.

I think this film just moved up on my favorites list and I'm not mad about it. Not one bit.

Everyone who's ever just had enough of life and all it's problems will love the courage of Francis as she chooses to give up everything for an inspiring and sometimes hilarious new life. (3 more)
Diane Lane and Sandra O give wonderful performances.
It's a multi textured and woven script with richly developed characters
A reminder that the scariest part of life is taking chances, so take every chance you get
A tribute to all of us who just want to pack up and run away..except Francis did it!

Romanic comedy dramas aren't necessarily my thing and yet I can watch this over and over again. We've all been Francis at some point in our lives..hurt, overwhelmed, desperate to feel normal again. So she takes us on her own journey where we find ourselves there with her at the Tucan villla she purchased on a whim. Now alone in a new country, surrounded by an unusual cast of characters, she rebuilds the aged villa along with her broken life and learns that hold truly is where the heart is.
