Letters to Juliet

The trailer makes this seem deceptively cliche. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of cliches in this (mostly the whole "hating each other and then falling passionately in love" trope). But it's a visually beautiful movie thanks to the Italian scenery, and I really wanted to hug Vanessa Redgrave, who was utterly charming in this.

I loved it, but maybe its because I wanted to love it. I found the characters endearing and the were many laugh out loud moments. The love story between the older couple is almost better than the main pair, but you are rooting all the way for every one to have their happily ever after.

The premise might not be so bad, but the movie is too silly, with very poor performances.

The only good, great actually, thing about this movie is Vanessa Redgrave. The story is meh... Seyfried and her partner are not interesting. Chemistry was out of the equation.

The romantic in me found this a completely lovely story where two people who were soulmates found each other again after being apart. Girly Appeal: 10

Are you troubled by insomnia? If so, then a single viewing of "Letters to Juliet" is guaranteed to provide at least temporary relief for your problem. Amanda Seyfried once again shows that she has the acting ability of a chair and adds little more than a nice pair of boobs to a plot as predictable as the sunrise. The only redeeming quality here is the presence of Vanessa Redgrave. Otherwise, "Letters to Juliet" is just another piece of dreck geared toward the moronic masses.

charming, feel good, predictable romance. Beautiful Italian scenary and trestle tables full of food and generations of families eating gave it the look of an olive oil/margarine advert.

Amanda Seyfried, pretty hot.

The poise and grace of Redgrave, her reunion on screen with Nero (her Lancelot in Camelot, the father of one of her children), and a mouthwatering tour of Tuscany are insufficient counterweights to the slop bucket of false sentiments about romantic love.

A little too enamored with the cute idea of two long lost loves finding each other in their winter years to be bothered with things like character development and chemistry between the protagonist and love interest. Likely to be forgotten in a day or two.

I think this is a nice simple rom com, it would be rated higher but I don't love love love Amanda Seyfried

If you choose to watch this film, pick Sunday afternoon. Thank me later.

For travel porn, you could do worse. But, for a comedy, this has few if any attempts at humor. Also, the pacing of dialogue throughout the film is completely off, as if the actors memorized their lines without ever rehearsing together before filming - especially Seyfried whose lines are so poorly delivered, it sounds as if they've been edited in at a slower tape speed after the rest of the film had been completed.

Enjoyable PG romance film. Great scenery and I liked the focus on the older couple. I want to believe this is the sequel to Mamma Mia, with the exact useless boyfriend.

Romeo and Juliet is based of an old Greek play, so an Englishman didn't come up with the idea. And this is yet another romance where a guy who didn't really do anything wrong is cheated on and heartbroken. What saves this from the bin pile is the story of the older characters.

As it goes for romantic movies, this certainly isn't the worst one I've ever seen. The plot isn't much, but at least they tried making something special out of it. Much of the scènes are clichéd, but at least they're sweet and believable.

Did you know love is for rich white folks who can afford to fly to and from Europe at a moment's notice? It's true. God, what a dull and classist film.

Q: What's orange and stinks? A: This movie.

by finding an old letter and answering it a series of thing start happening after she meats the author of that letter that decides to look for her long lost love. Great dialogue at the end of the story.

No. Not a Nicholas Sparks movie. Just similar. Kind of cute, too.

Ok, cute, but that's it.

Cliche but cute with Vanessa Redgrave, Amanda Seyfried and Italian scenery.

"Like Taylor Swift's pop hit "Love Story," Garry Winick's Letters to Juliet references Shakespeare to prop up its cornball fairy-tale romanticism." - Nick Schager

#11#, popcorn, story, Amanda S.

This shampoo commercial, erm, I mean film is all about Amanda Seyfried and her amazing hair which flows like molten sunlight or possibly cooked spaghetti over her tanned and innocent young body, ripe and tender like a summer peach under a thin cotton napkin, as she frolics and gyrates beneath the Tuscan sun amid tones of gold, green and umber. It's practically a pervert's wet dream. Disappointingly, the story has the complexity level of something you would read to a five-year-old before bedtime.

An entirely predictable cheese movie. We were able to play a game where you guess what is going to happen next and what people were going to say next, as an estimation, we got an 87%......that is very very high.

It is predictable and clichéd. If you want, you can basically watch the entire film in the trailer anyway. I'd say only give it a look if you are looking for a romance film set in Italy.

It's very Nicholas Sparks, but fortunately isn't. It's a little trite/predictable, but it's still an enjoyable watch.

Apparently because I'm a woman I'm supposed to enjoy this rubbish. I didn't.

Totally predictable but at least the setting gives some nice views.

Since no one want to market a romantic comedy with old folk in the lead, we have a film where the main character seems completely gratuitous and her own subplot romance seems like an afterthought. It would be nice if we could have a movie set in Italy that wouldn't rely on such tired stereotypes for characters.

Pelen klisz, ale pewien urok ma.

Sappy chick-flick (yes, I know that's redundant) improved slightly by the presence of Vanessa Redgrave in what will surely come to be known as "the Vanessa Redgrave role"--the radiant, other-worldly aging woman.

really good 10 out of 10

Granted I did watch it on an airplane (with subtitles, because I was too cheap to buy a head set)... it still sucked.

first love never dies...literally! and conversations were so so dull.

I expected something really better

Romantic comedy about a young woman traveling in Verona who joins a group of volunteers answering letters seeking advice about love and then finds love herself. cheesy and predictable, but everyone from Redgrave to Sophie's neglectful fiancé (García Bernal) is so charming, all is (almost) forgiven.

Letters to Juliet has a refreshingly earnest romantic charm, but it suffers from limp dialogue and an utter lack of surprises.
