Second Chance at Life and Love
I admit it. I love a sappy movie, the more Kleenex's the better. I was not disappointed with this one. This is the kind of movie that just calls for buying a few bottles of good wine, some great cheese and fruit and some crusty Italian bread, and inviting over some good friends. I admit I was a bit put off when I realized it was subtitled in English but spoken in Italian, but it didn't take long to get used to the subtitles, and the Italian language playing in the background of my reading only added to the feeling of the movie, not detracted from it. If you are at that age when it feels like life is one big rut, and you long to do something wild and adventurous, then you can live out your fantasy in this movie. The other reviews will fill you in on what the movie is about. All I can tell you is I watched this one and immediately ordered it to add to my collection, right between Falling in Love with Meryl Streep, Bridges of Madison County, Pay it Forward, and Shirley Valentine. Get it. Unless you are a husband who can't figure out why women act so loco around fifty, you'll love it.

One of my all-time favorites!
I watched this movie on a whim and found it to be one of the best I've seen. The story is great, I love the characters, I loved the ending. I was glad that the people in it looked "real", unlike Hollywood movies. Other reviews go into detail on the plot details. I will say no more than I love this movie & people I have loaned it to have loved it also, with very few exceptions. Just expect the dialog to be in Italian, though this makes no difference in the quality of the acting or the story.

Shirley Valentine Ripoff
See the movie "Shirley Valentine" instead. "Shirley Valentine" is to "Bread and Tulips" what "Eat Drink Man Woman" was to "Tortilla Soup." It steals the idea from that movie, but doesn't do it justice.

It's slightly different, but you can tell where it came from, and if you like the plot, see the real thing. Cause Shirley Valentine is really funny.
