You & Me & Tuscany
110 mins
From Will Packer, the blockbuster producer of Girls Trip, the Ride Along franchise, and ten movies that have opened No. 1 at the U.S. box office – comes a delicious romantic comedy about one little lie, one large Italian villa, and two people getting lost in the sauce of love.
Halle Bailey stars as Anna, a young woman who has abandoned her dreams of becoming a chef and is now drifting through her twenties with a series of bad choices. When Anna loses her house-sitting job (and housing) in one fell swoop, a chance encounter with Matteo – a handsome Italian who happens to have a villa sitting empty in Tuscany – will inspire her to jet off for Italy, against the advice of her always-honest bestie, Claire.
But Anna’s plan to crash at Matteo’s villa, without permission, just for one night, falls apart when Matteo’s mother, Gabriella shows up at the house unexpectedly. In a panic, Anna allows Gabriella to believe that she is Matteo’s fiancée.
That little lie becomes a big problem, though, when Matteo’s cousin, Michael shows up, and Anna discovers that the heat between them may ignite a fire that will transform her life.
The film’s international cast includes Lorenzo de Moor as Matteo, Marco Calvani as an Italian taxi driver who befriends Anna and Academy Award® nominee Nia Vardalos as Anna’s house-sitting client, Mrs. Dunn.
