Movie Review # 777: You, Me, & Tuscany (2026)

And now, everyone, today, we review a romantic comedy that was just released last month. Starring Halle Bailey, Rege-Jean Page, Marco Calvani, and more, I give you all my review of You, Me, & Tuscany.

Plot: After an aspiring chef puts her dreams on hold, following the death of her mother, Anna Montgomery (Halle Bailey) has had the gig of being a house sitter. However, she loses a really big client of hers in the process. Afterwards, she meets an Italian man named Matteo Costa (Lorenzo de Moor), who, after spending a night with her, and Anna sneaking into Matteo’s phone, and sending pictures of his home, and address to her phone, he apologizes to her for leaving, and leaves a note for her the next morning that tells her to chase her dreams. After this, she flies to Italy, meets taxi cab driver named Lorenzo (Marco Calvani), who takes her to Matteo’s villa in Tuscany, Italy. After being discovered by Matteo’s, she pretends to be Matteo’s fiancee to avoid getting arrested. As she gets to know people like Matteo, her cousin Michael (Rege-Jean Page), the latter whom she actually begins to develop feelings for, can she have a better outlook on life, and remain accepted by Matteo, and Michael’s family? Or will the truth about her past be revealed, and her having to get shunned by the new family that she’s grown fond of, and have to spend time in jail?

Well, I will say that this was a very fun, and charming. In fact, if you want a potential romantic comedy that’s probably one of the better ones to come out from Hollywood in more recent years, then I can guarantee that you’ll find yourself enjoying You, Me, & Tuscany. However, there are at least a couple flaws with the film. First of all, there was some crude language in the beginning of the film before main Anna makes her trip to Tuscany, Italy. Thankfully, there’s barely any language like that of the sort once the man character makes her journey out of the U.S. Anyway, the other flaw is that some of the writing could have likely been done better. There were some situations in this film that probably seemed like a cop out in this film. This seemed especially to be the case when it came to dealing with certain situations of characters, getting some of the characters developed, and things like that.

But, thankfully, that is where the flaws end. So what does make this film work really well? Well, again, this being one of the more decent romantic comedies to come out in recent years. Seeing as there have been a lot of films of this type where there has been more coarse language, more sensuality, you name it, it is nice to have a film where a film can just be a mostly overall gun watch. Also, how could you not love the acting in this film, especially from Halle Bailey, Rege-Jean Page, and the rest of the cast in this film? Seeing as Halle Bailey is one of those people who seems to choose films with better quality in them (case in point, films like the 2023 remake of The Little Mermaid, and the remake of The Color Purple), it is really cool to see her in a movie with things like a better humor, and a better quality storyline in it. Anyway, the storyline was also really fun. Though it could potentially come off as cliche at first, in spite of some flaws in the film, the story really knows how to also be fun, creative, and as engaging as possible.

Additionally, there’s some really great comedy in this film. Whether it be one of the characters saying something hilarious, or someone doing something awkward, or stupid, there are a lot of comedic moments to enjoy in this film.

The characters themselves are also really likable. Whether it be characters like Lorenzo, Michael, Matteo, or even Anna herself, you’ll probably find yourself finding a character that you consider a favorite in this film.

Finally, if you want a film with excellent cinematography, then all the more reason to see this film. Honestly, it wouldn’t be surprising if people find themselves wanting to maybe go to either Tuscany, or possibly any other part of Italy. So there you have it!

And that‘s my review for You, Me, & Tuscany. It is definitely one of those movies that has come out in recent years that, due to having better quality things in it than many other films of this type that have come out in recent years. Because of that, it is more than likely that more people are bound to enjoy this film. If you want that kind of film, along with a film with likable characters, good relationships, you name it, then all the more reason to see You, Me, & Tuscany. So, once you see this film, see what you think!

Final Rating: 8.5/10
