Maggie is trying to reconnect with her
teenage daughter and they go on a trip together to Italy. Maggie is a single mother and college
writing teacher in New York. Her
daughter Summer is in the midst of teenage angst, she has a lousy boyfriend and
she’s doesn’t see any reason to go to Italy. Maggie wants Summer to see the beauty and experience the
Tuscan village Maggie loved in her younger days. Maggie reconnects with Luca and he is a former friend who
lives with his daughter and his 80 year-old-mother Carmen. Summer and Carmen leave together to set
out on their own and they steal Luca’s car. Carmen is planning to get married in Rome the next day and
Summer wants to go back to New York.
Luca and Maggie set out after them.
This may have looked good on paper but
it’s not very good. There really
isn’t much going on but it’s all contrived to look like something important is
happening. There is just a lot of
running back and forth. The
amazing countryside is the star of the film and the best feature. Sarah’s hair and makeup plus her
clothing don't do her any favors in this film? 2* (I didn’t like this movie)
