Letters to Juliet. Love never dies. A very beautiful fairy tale! Yes! This film can be called a fairy tale. All the characters are very interesting and funny, but most of all, of course, the main “culprit” of the whole story is Claire Smith, how she is ready to go to the end for her love can really inspire, inspire and, most likely believe in true love, which is ready to light up again as then 50 years ago. Of course, we shouldn’t forget the young heroes and their story is not much worse and will also make you reconsider your views on relationships. In general, you need to love and be loved, and if anything, Juliet will tell you.

Letters to Juliet is a highly underrated romantic comedy that has an undeniably lovable sense of fun through its sweet, funny, and beautifully driven story for all ages.

Cartas para Julieta é um ótimo filme. Com história simples, consegue ser uma comédia romântica sem ser clichê. É um bom filme para quem gosta desse gênero e para quem quer descontrair um pouco.

Simply charming, a typically ravishing movie and with every clichÃs that deserves. Talking that the movie is characteristically romantic and it has clichÃs might seems negative but in this case is not. The movie is so well written, the script is genial, the performances are truthful, the photography is beautiful, the soundtrack is so charming... without words. For those who likes romance it's a obrigatory movie. Probably a modern classic hence a couple years.

The tagline is: what if you had a second chance to find true love? It all begins like Taylor Swift song LOVE STORY, -We were both young, when I first saw you-. There is a place in Verona where broken-hearted women wrote their letters and attached it on the wall. Those letters will be replied by a group called Juliet Secretaries. By her curiosity, Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) got involved into the group, while she was on vacation with her fiancÃ, Victor (Gael GarcÃa Bernal). Sophie accidentally found an unanswered letter, and tried to reply it back after 50 years. The letters which wrote by a woman named Claire (Vanessa Redgrave), takes them to a quest to find Claire first love, Lorenzo Bartolini. Young Bartolini once asked Claire to run away with him. Thiz part is when the song says, -Romeo takes me somewhere we can be alone, I will be waiting all there has left to do is run-. But young Claire never showed up. Meanwhile, Claire grandson, Charlie (Christopher Egan) comes along to join their road trip adventure. Later, Sophie and Charlie have found their self actually they also have special feeling with each other. Amanda Seyfried had always been my personal favorite Actress since I first saw her in MAMMA MIA! (2008). But I have to admit her acting did not show particular improvement yet. Seyfried chemistry with Egan as her love interest is extremely poor. It seems Egan does not know what to do with his role. Gael GarcÃa Bernal who I respected him as an extraordinary Actor in Indie movies (such as: Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN (2001), THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES (2004) and others), also made one dimensional performance with his monotone behavior. Vanessa Redgrave shows better performance as Claire, although it is not so special either. A good story to tell, but missed almost all aspects in directing, the man who is responsibility for that is Gary Winick (also directed CHARLOTTE WEB (2006) and BRIDE WARS (2009)). In Fact, the emotions are barely flat throughout the entire movie. Despite its obvious inadequacies, there is one heartwarming moment, when at last Claire met Charlie again. Their reunion healed their long lost love, the believability was effective. That is the time we came to the end of the song, -You will never have to be alone, I love you and that is all I really know-. Fabulous letter but did not get delivered.

This movie was simply awful - Boring, bland & extrememly predictable. I gave it a 1 for a nice location, but it lost a lot of points for wasting a couple of hours of my life. That's it i'm afraid.

Being a bloke I resisted seeing this because I heard it received ho-hum reviews. Was I wrong. And just for context I couldn't even finish watching SexCity2, which was just terrible. Anyways Letter is a sweet charmer, and sure it's predictable, but so what. Fantastic scenery, good performances all round and Vanessa Redgrave was superb. What a magnificent, radiant presence to light up the screen. So against expectations I thoroughly enjoyed it. And even had a little weep. And I'm so tired of cynical critics who just seem to get off trashing everything they can (no wonder they're a dieing breed). Movies don't have to be great works of art, they can just be entertaining and heart warming.
