Under the Tuscan Sun (2003)

I’m the kind of guy that stores love to see stumbling through their doors. I have some trouble with impulse control. In recent years, this has manifested itself in the urge to buy whatever shiny catches my eye. I get home and shake my head and wonder what I was thinking when I pulled out my credit card. Mostly I’m able to control it but every so often, a friend will look around my place, see something new, shake their head and snort in annoyance. But I sure don’t have the troubles that Frances (Diane Lane) will have after buying a dilapidated old villa while on a two-week coach tour of the Tuscany region of Italy. But I have to admire her reasoning for making the purchase. If I thought I didn’t have the life I wanted and found myself afraid of its prospects, I’d pony up the bucks and buy that place.
