Alien at the Movies

You, Me, & Tuscany

Anna (Halle Bailey) is a professional house sitter in New York City. However, she tends to overstep boundaries while she house sits. She was studying to become a chef when her mother’s death derailed her plans. Then she meets a wealthy Italian businessman, Mateo, in a bar and her free-spirit nature takes over. She is compelled to visit Italy. Unprepared for her impromptu vacation without reservations, she desperately chooses to become a squatter at Mateo’s empty Tuscan villa. In this romantic comedy, Anna gets caught by Mateo’s family & they mistakenly think she is Mateo’s fiancée. From there, it’s a comedy of errors & lies. When Anna meets Mateo’s adopted brother, Michael (Regé-Jean Page) sparks fly, but then the prodigal son, Mateo, returns to complicate the deception more. This is a fun rom/com romp about owning up to your past mistakes. This entertaining film is about food, family, & following your dreams. Look for some funny tourist tram outtakes during the credits.
