When I posted last week about one of my favorite movies, Under the Tuscan Sun, I was surprised by how many of you hadn’t seen the movie. The book is NOTHING like the movie. In our recent poll, readers rated Under the Tuscan Sun, the movie, as one they’d like to hear more about, so we will review both, Under the Tuscan Sun, the book and the movie. I read Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes with my book club.

The movie is about a San Fransisco woman who has been jilted by her husband and goes to Italy on vacation but stays because she has nowhere to go. And the winner is… Obviously, I think the movie was a runaway winner. I think for me part of the reason is that the book is non-fiction and so it is written from the perspective of sharing, not necessarily for making a good story! The book was filled with amazing Italian imagery and yummy recipes. ( Log Out /  I’m with you here, Stacy!

The name of the villa is Bramasole (just like in the book) and it goes into detail about the renovation setbacks, scorpions and quirky contractors.

I read the book first and saw the movie a long time after. The Story/Plot  The book is a travel memoir of a San Fransisco couple that buys and restores a house in Tuscany, on a part-time basis. If I hadn’t, I think I would have liked the movie more for all the plot reasons you listed. If anyone is interested i have recently published my own memoir about Cortona….

The movie is fiction. Having lived in Cortona 1980-2000 i was really disappointed in the film and its portrayal of that sleepy Rin Van Winkle town- the fountain in the piazza doesn’t exist and watching the film in Australia i was sooo looking forward to recognising faces of old friends etc in the crowd, but there were hardly any town scenes in the film. Again, nothing wrong with the book, just a preference for the movie. I read the book in 2010 (here) and watched the movie, again, last week (here) so I can easily compare the two, and it’s made easier considering that the two are so completely different.

I’ve only seen the movie. She is funny, relatable and lovable. The book isn’t bad but the movie’s photography is great, it stars Diane Lane who is great as is the rest of the cast and the comedic parts are well done. I listened to the book on audio and it was read by the author. Pretty much your typical romantic comedy. It was a sweet, feel-good movie set in beautiful Italy.

I saw most of the movie at the gym- it was on the TVs there for a couple of days- but I only saw bits.

I need to read the book just haven’t found time and I loved the movie so much I figured that the book wouldn’t be great as great! The movie is a romantic comedy about a woman trying to find herself in Tuscany after she discovers her husband cheated on her.
Junior by Allen Wolf, Last Gage reviews from September Challenge, With Gage – The Haunted Castle by Geronimo Stilton. it’s very rare for me to read a book if I’ve seen the movie or see the move if I’ve already read the book.

However, both the book and the movie do a great job at urging you to let go and enjoy life! She has a wonderful best friend played by Sandra Oh. Under the Tuscan Sun is well-known as a book and a movie. I was very disappointed in the book. Seriously one of my favorites. ( Log Out /  The movie stars Diane Lane who plays Francis Mayes, a writer, who is recently divorced after discovering her husband was cheating on her. She travels to Tuscany to get away, clear her head and ends up buying a run-down villa. . Error: Twitter did not respond. ( Log Out /  Actors  Frances Mayes seems like a fine person, but trying to compare to Diane Lane is tough. Just goes to prove that the book isn’t always better. All the characters I loved in the movie are no where in the book. Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email. However, the movie is all about self discovery. That probably makes no sense but I remember being disappointed in the movie. The movie follow Francis Mayes on her journey to heal from a broken heart and discovers that her divorce was not the end. Thumbs Up- Movie. I did not think there was much of a story in the book, but the movie had a great story of discovery. She also meets many wonderfully colorful characters along her journey. The movie gives several nods to the book. http://henry.post1.telrock.org.

Frances’s boyfriend was nowhere to be found in the movie, but again hard to compare with Diane’s first Italian boyfriend…, The secondary characters in each were completely different too. Though if I had read the book first (which I don’t think I knew existed), I’d probably be upset at the Hollywoodization of the book! Other book vs. movie polls you can vote on: (The Little Prince) (Charlie St. The book is nothing like the movie. However, the movie is all about self discovery. The book won over the movie I think because I read it first.

I haven’t read the book or seen the movie but it sounds like I won’t feel guilty if I see the movie first since it sounds like I will like it better.

Diane Lane does a great job playing Francis Mayes. The movie gives several nods to the book.

Never read the book but that hottie would make the best written book banal in comparison, dontcha think?

It sounds like the movie is only very loosely based on the book. I really like it and thought it was, overall, better than the book. ( Log Out /  She finds the life she always wanted while immersing herself in another culture. You are right though. The movie did an excellent job of showcasing Italy while still telling a story. I need to see the movie! So when I read the book I was so disappointed. It looked like a fun one though, and very pretty .
