The movie is not interest enough (bore and predictable plot), but I watch because it was nothing on TV the other night. Amanda Seyfried still can't act and there is no chemistry between her and the guy who played Vanessa Redgrave moody grandson. There's no character development at every characters. I don't understand why Vanessa Redgrave agreed to appear in this movie. The movie has nice scenery of Italy it makes you desire to visit one day. This movie is sleepover movie for tween & teenage girls.

Letters to Juliet (2010): Dir: Gary Winick / Cast: Amanda Seyfried, Christopher Egan, Vanessa Redgrave, Gael Garcia Bernal, Franco Nero: Shakespeare has always been the figure for love and tragedy. Here we have a romance addressing the heroine who has seen it all. Amanda Seyfried is in Italy with her fiancé and becomes intrigued with a group a ladies who answer letters addressed to Juliet with regards to love and relationships. Seyfried contacts an elderly woman whose letter dates back to 1957. With reluctance of her grandson they begin an odyssey to find the male whom she nearly married. Director Gary Winick has fun with the Shakespeare theme although the screenplay is pretty thin. Winick previously directed the romantic themed 13 Going On 30 as well as the non romantic Charlotte's Web. Seyfriend holds her own as this curious young woman fascinated with love that has aged by decades. Christopher Egan as the grandson basically gets reduced to a back and forth spat with Seyfried until he arrives where viewers all know is obvious. Vanessa Redgrave as the grandmother in search of her past Romeo is very good as she accepts Seyfried as a friend and encounters one false Romeo after another since several bear the same name. Will she meet the real one? Is the sky blue? Gael Garcia Bernal as Seyfried's Italian cook fiancé is written out conveniently and never played as anything but a lousy plot prop. This might make for a decent date film although males may prefer something more upbeat and less sappy. The Shakespeare theme will make the letter worth opening only for chick flick fans. Score: 6 / 10

If you haven't seen this movie yet, shame on you! Don't even bother reading through reviews, just buy it and start watching because I promise you, after 1 minute, you're hooked. From the moment this movie begins, it takes you in. You get drawn into the story of life and finding that thing we search for the most: love. The characters in this movie are so well played and the chemistry with the three leads makes you want to get on a plane and visit Italy straight away. I say this because you want to experience that magic of the country yourself and maybe on the way find love as well. You can almost feel the thrill when knocking on a door and waiting for it to open. The feeling that you could be one second away from seeing that person again after so long and wondering if you still recognize each other. Imagine you would write Juliet a letter, left it on the wall and 50 years later got a reply. This movie leaves me with a question every time, because in the old days, people fell in love and if that didn't work out well, they would live their whole life with ache in their heart for the love they lost or couldn't have. We on the other hand, in our modern world with all kinds of ways to communicate with each other would not hesitate to give up on someone after a few months or years. But, had you lived back then, what would you do if after all those years, you got a reply. Ask yourself, what would I do? Still reading this? Stop right now and press play because you already wasted a few minutes of time!
