You, Me, & Tuscany is its own micro-miracle, a pure romcom where its protagonist isn’t jaded by romance, has no impulse to deconstruct the modern relationship, and isn’t forced through any preliminary Hinge date humiliation ritual. Here, all we need are two very charming and attractive people – Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page – and the soft, undulating hills of the Italian countryside.
It’s utterly predictable from the moment Bailey’s Anna, who gave up on her dreams of professional chefdom, impulsively follows through on her mother’s dying wish to visit Tuscany and chases a one-night stand, Matteo (Lorenzo de Moor), back to his hometown. He’s not there. His entire family is, however, including his mother, Gabriella (Isabella Ferrari), with her Sophia Loren grin, and his skeptical nonna (Stefania Casini), a chronic eavesdropper and eyebrow lifter. They’ve all assumed Anna is Matteo’s fiancée, a ruse which is soon complicated by the arrival of Gabriella’s nephew Michael (Page).
