Diane Lane possesses exactly the kind of face to accomplish such a task and once the stern Contessa cracks her first smile since the war and sells Frances the house, the rest of the film sets out to make good on the assertion by Frances' lesbian pal Patti (Sandra Oh) that "Italians know more about having fun than we do". ...

It's about taking a step before you're ready to take a step,' says writer/director Audrey Welles in an entertaining making-of feature on the DVD, which includes interviews with Diane Lane and behind the scenes footage.
Diane Lane is captivating as Frances, and even though some of the adventures are rather unlikely, we sincerely care about her and are willing her to find the happiness she is so vividly seeking.

This is a lite version of that film but still very entertaining nonetheless.
The disc jacket claims that it is in the tradition of UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN , which is a movie that I truly loved simply because of the wonderful Diane Lane.
