UNDER TUSCAN SUN - Is it really greatest comedy-romance of millenium?

Some critics are calling the new Diane Lane movie "the best comedy romance of the new millenium".

While I thought the movie was great... what do you guys think.

A poll is attached.

Thanks.

Uh, it's an okay movie.

I haven't heard any critic call this "the best comedy romance of the new millenium," though.

And I can't imagine any would.

I thought it was enjoyable, but nothing truly memorable.

I think any critic who'd make a comment like that is probably a "quote whore", i.e. they purposely make blurb-ready statemnets in their reviews so they can get their name on movie ads.

There are stupid quotes made about every movie out there, good or bad or mediocre... I wouldn't put any particular stock in this one.

Yes. I agree. It's a quality movie but THE BEST of the millenium is a going a bit far.

It's a shame that people are just dismissing it. It's doing well at the box office but it's still only in a few cinemas. I don't know why Touchstone/Disney aren't pushing it more?

It deserves to find an audience because a good movie is a good movie regardless of genre. And this IS a good movie IMHO.

Someone made the same observation in a previous thread, but it mysteriously disappeared!

Call me strange, but I usually try to avoid eating sweaty cotton candy.

I saw "Tuscan" and I liked it. Although by the time I walked out I coulda swore I sprouted a pair of ovaries by the film's end.
