Review: Letters to Juliet
Film: Letters to Juliet Starring : Amanda Seyfried, Vanessa Redgrave, Gael García Bernal, Christopher Egan, Franco Nero Director: Gary Winick Screenwriter : Jose Rivera and Tim Sullivan The title sounds endearing enough, and even the premise sounded good. A woman on vacation in Verona, Italy stumbles upon the "Secretaries of Juliet" who write advice to the lovelorn. Being a writer herself and a bit of a romantic, she joins in, because her fiance is too busy darting around the country getting tips, treats and cooking lessons, as well as making contacts for his new restaurant which he is opening in New York. She stumbles across a 50 year old letter and decides to reply to it, which leads her on an adventure helping a woman find her lost love. Sadly, that's where the fun ends. If you're into saccharine, chick-flick romances, then this is your kind of film. No one dies at the end, thankfully. That would have been too much for me....
