This wretchedly unfunny wannabe comedy is inane and awful - no doubt, it's the worst movie I've seen this summer.

Under the Tuscan Sun

Susan Granger
The heroine has become a lonely divorcee, resulting in an unexpectedly added depth to the story. It's surprisingly satisfying, recommended for anyone who's ever wondered if there really are second chances.

Rarely has a Broadway show been transferred to the screen as inventively and successfully. Not only is it one of the 10 BEST of the year but the participants should be top contenders for Oscar gold.

Light on plot and philosophy, it's heavy on CGI animals, particularly a spectacular showdown between two armored polar bears.
