The theater is overdue for a movie we can go out to see on a perfect ladies’ night. The good news is that the dry spell is nearly over; You, Me & Tuscany is set to usher in the revival of the rom-com era and bring good vibes to the big screen on April 10.

The trailers already have us booking our summer escapes to Europe and assembling moodboards to manifest our own destination meet-cute. But before you finish making a perfect night out plan complete with a showing of You, Me & Tuscany, here’s what’s making us—and the internet—excited about the film.

Romance fans have the movie on their radar for putting a Black girl love story back on the big screen. The film follows city girl Anna (Halle Bailey) as she tries to find her place in life when she comes across Italian-born Matteo (Lorenzo de Moor) and follows him back to the Italian countryside. When she’s caught crashing at his villa, she covers her tracks and poses as Matteo’s fiancée—until she falls for his cousin Michael (Regé-Jean Page), and her cover story becomes a little more complicated.

“You hear that phrase ‘fantasy come to life,’” Bailey told The Hollywood Reporter. “But this was really it.”

Of course, part of the reason social media users are ready to head to the theater is the combined charm of the two leads who couldn’t be more perfect for this fantasy romp. Bailey made a big splash on our screens in The Little Mermaid, with the whimsical energy to match the Disney love story. And is there any question that Regé-Jean Page—who captured hearts as Simon in the breakout season of Bridgerton—has proven his skill as a leading man?

The film spots in You, Me & Tuscany were the definition of a lavish getaway and soft-life dream. The crew scouted picture-perfect locations in Rome, Pienza, and vibrant family-owned local vineyards. The countryside area is famous for its local wineries—which came in plenty of use as the leads share romance with a side of wine.

Filming wasn’t the only time the actors went to luxurious locations. To promote the film, Bailey stopped by Spelman College to talk with HBCU students about her role in the film—if the moment could be described in a few words, it’s definitely Black Girl Magic.

“The theme of this movie is joy,” director Kat Coiro told THR. “If people take anything from it, I want it to be: Italy makes you feel great.”
