Exactly what the trailers showed

by birac

So I really don't recommend spending money on this,unless you want the Italian countryside on the big screen. It was pretty bland because,as beautiful as Seyfried is,she isn't very accomplished. Lots of the big eye expressions and cute smiles,but no meat. The stately Ms.Redgrave was a treat,even the male newcomer showed some talent in the gamut from obnoxious snob to a man coming to realize life was not all about him. He did it without overacting a great epiphany moment as so often happens in this type film.(the exception was an unreal balcony scene,but I blame that on the director) It had a couple of nice substories and was ok. I spent money to take my mom,but my gut had been telling me NO..so that's my recommend to you. wait to rent

Very Old Fashioned Romance....

by lovestalentmoviefan

...for both the older and younger couples. Really clean. I wanted to be critical,because this is so unrealistic...but didn't lots of love stories start out to be about the stuff that dreams are made of? When I think back to older films and the love stories they held that didn't rely on sex and raunchy material to make them appealing, I think,yes Letters is a good movie and a nice step back to simpler stories that captivated innocent audiences for years. Some recommends on the older stories if you are in the mood...Breakfast at Tiffany's, Sleepless in Seattle,The Apartment. Will spend money again to support family friendly

No techie tricks or r-rated gimmicks!!

by keatsgirl

So I say GO! However, some will not want to spend the money for such a slow moving film. If I wasn't so fed up with all of the above stated material coming out of film makers,I might have just given this a so-so. Letters moves rather ploddingly, dialogue is only average, Seifried is not very dimensional as an actor, and movie just seems boring in areas. (Judging from her work in other movies,I do think Seifried(sp?) will do well as her career matures). THE GOOD STUFF! Sophie's and Victor's situation handled very nicely and realistically,and will make people think, the sophistication of Vanessa Redgrave, the relationship between the two women, and the respect shown to elders,as opposed to so much entertainment out there inferring that older people are insignificant,and their love lives are simply over. It is a sweetly sentimental treat. Big screen gives it magic,so maybe it will be worth it for ya!

Letters to Juliet

by i_love_cards

I liked the film. I liked the friendship that developed between Sofie and Claire. It also had some humor in it. It is a "chick flick". I didn't recognize any of the actors/actresses, but they did a good job.

summer romance started here

by Whataboutthis

For those of you who want a summer romance, this movie was made especially for you. It takes place in Verona and is centered around, none other than Juliet, a long-standing figure for romance. This movie, however, is not tragic. It's lighthearted and fun. It also has delicious food, lots of Italians, and great scenery.

I don't know about you, but this movie makes me want to go to Verona. And it was nice to think about falling in love - no matter what your age. Does that sounds cheesy? Anyway, it was nice to see Chris Eagan (loved Kings) and Amanda (Mama Mia, Mean Girls, Dear John) again.

I wouldn't go to this thinking this is the best romance ever written. There's no real drama here. But it was entertaining and it is a good way to start your summer romance with the movies.

Letter to Juliet

by jferreira

My husband and I liked the movie very much. The story plot was simple but entertaining. We laughed a lot because we can relate to some of the scenes. The movie surely made me forget my stress for the day. The slight facial expressions of the actors were enough to pull the viewers into the scene. The panaromic views of Italy were enticing. It was justifiably captured. It made us want to visit the country sooner. For girls night out and for dating couples, I highly recommend that they see the Letters to Juliet. It was a nice movie to end the day.

GREAT LOVE STORY

by booklady1955

This was the best love story I've seen in many years. It is a very clean movie. Its two plot lines make the movie appealing to young adults and older audiences.

Chic Flick Romantic Comedy with gorgeous scenary

by critcallyme

I loved this movie. It is not going to win any awards & yes it was predictable & cheezy in places but all romantic comedies are. Vanessa Redgrove was terrific! She has such presence & grace. The story is about Sophie f/New York taking a pre-honeymoon trip with her fiance to Italy. Once there, all her fiance does is meet with vendors as he is opening a new restaurant back in NYC. This leaves her all alone. While in Verona she visits the statute of Juliet where she discovers a small group called Juliet's secretaries that respond to letters that young women tack to the wall for Juliet. She joins them & is touched by an old letter written in 1950 that was stuck behind a brick on the wall that she responds to. This is the introduction of Claire & her grandson Charlie who after receiviing the response to the old letter come to Verona to search for her long lost lover Lorenzo. Somewhere along the way Charlie & Sophie become attracted to one another.

Letters to Juliet is a lovely movie

by ottoheckle

This movie has it all ! , good unique story, great acting, beautiful scenery, and an ending that will make you smile. I'd only seen Amanda Seyfried in Chloe, which is such a dark movie, so I was pleased to see her play a bubbly optimistic young women rather than the siren she plays in Chloe. She's just as much the angel as Sophie in Letters to Juliet as she is the vamp in Chloe. It was good to see Vanessa Redgrave, and all the other players are superb too.This is a perfect summer movie, and had it come out a month later would have played in the Mall until late August. I thought The Last Song opened too early and would have been more successful as a summer movie. If you want an up and positive picture that will please your heart this is it. Letters to Juliet is a lovely movie.

Letters to Juliet

by j29free

A great and sappy "chick flick!
The cinematography made me want to pack my bags and fly off to Italy and create a new life.
Although somewhat predictable with regard to a typical boy meets girl love story, the movie does have a few unexpected twists that made it moving as well as funny.
Amanda Seyfried was wonderful as Sophie, a determined "romantic"writer, and Christ Egan was true to his character as a young snobbish Englishman. Gael Garcia Bernal, could not have been better in his role as the self absorbed restaurateur/ fiance.
Vanessa Redgrave may be older, but still wonderful in her role as Claire and Franco Nero is dashing as Lorenzo, her long lost love.
I believe that reuniting Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero in a romantic movie since their appearance together in Camelot, forty years ago, was a "smart move" on the part of the directors. The romance and chemistry that existed then, adds to Letters to Juliet. A must see
