Under the Tuscan Sun (2003)

I suppose this qualifies as a "chick flick" but more for those women past the first flush of youth.  Diane Lane who has been around for so long that it is hard to believe that she is still relatively young plays a recently-divorced woman who can't seem to find herself.  On a trip to Italy with a gay tour group (too complicated to explain why since she is straight) she purchases a run-down villa on the spur of the moment.  The rest of the film is taken up with the various traumas of its repair, her attempt to find a new love in the wrong place, and her gradual acceptance by her new community.  Lane is a luminous actress and nearly makes all of this rhubarb bearable -- but I can't imagine what a male viewer could find to like in this farrago.
