In a first moment we get to think it's gonna be one of those movies in which the main girl is sad, depressed and finds a prince riding a white horse. "Under the Tuscan Sun" isn't that kind of movie. Frances is a divorced woman that travels to Italy, maybe to start a new life-- she doesn't actually know why she's leaving her home. Instead of finding a new man to marry, she finds some since people and develop a beautiful friendship with them. Don't get me wrong, she tries to find a man, but just like usually happens in real life, they end up in separate ways. Maybe that's the best point of this movie; showing that life isn't perfect and showing that one can find happiness even if not in a relationship. The plot isn't predictable at any time-- in fact, everything you try to guess you fail. There is no big achievement in the whole story, but it is a charming film for those who care about other people and how they connect to the world. Maybe a female audience will like it better.
