July 22 movie: You, Me & Tuscany rated PG-13; for some strong language, and sexual material. Starring Rege-Jean Page, Halle Bailey, Marco Calvani, Isabella Ferrari, Stefania Casini. 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 fiance. 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.
