a somewhat likable story and characters, but poor acting and serviceable script make this an ok film that feels like too many others in the genre. Read More

Letters to Juliet represents an interesting paradox: it is a movie that is very nearly perfect without being especially good.

Amanda Seyfried stars in this enjoyable rom-com as Sophie, a bright-eyed girl on vacation with her single-minded fiance in Verona, Italy. Here, centuries ago, Romeo met Juliet. Today lovelorn letters to the tragic heroine are left at a sacred spot. When Sophie replies to a letter written fifty years earlier, its author Claire, a remarkable Vanessa Redgrave, returns to Verona where the two join forces to scour the countryside for Claire's long-lost Italian beau. It ain't Shakespeare. But it's no "Bounty Hunter" either.

Phoenix Film Industry Examiner Movie review: 'Letters to Juliet', a stirring reminder of missed love	Critic Rating:	10

When a film can emotionally stimulate the viewer, not only while watching, but long after it has ended, is the essence of a very good story and superior movie making. "Letters to Juliet" reminded me of a high school sweetheart, with the thought of ‘wonder what ever happened to …" Amanda Seyfried, who gained international notoriety in 2008’s "Mamma Mia" and a haunting portrayal in 2009’s suspense...

Summit Entertainment made it very easy for folks to decide against seeing its new romance flick 'Letters to Juliet.' Why pay $12.50 and waste 105 minutes of your time for something you can see for free in less than 3 minutes on NCM.com? The movie's trailer provides a very succinct Cliff Notes version of the entire storyline. And, having seen both, I can attest that your best bet is most certainly the Cliff Notes version.

Orange County Movie Examiner Letters to Juliet: junk mail	Critic Rating:	4
By Chris Allsop
May 14, 2010
The poster for "Letters to Juliet" gives the game away – an enormous Amanda Seyfried (the benevolent puppet master) looms over the doll-like figures of the reunited lovers (played by Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero). Bits of rural Italy poke in around the corners, and a warm, peachy aura exudes. It’s an ideal of the motherland recreated on the walls of Italian restaurants the world over, cheap frescoes for customers to enjoy while the...

Baltimore Movie Examiner Movie review: Letters to Juliet, 6.8 out of 10	Critic Rating:	6
By Tom Clocker
May 13, 2010
6.8 out of 10 If you summed up ‘Letters to Juliet’ with one word, that word would be "cute." This is a "chick flick" in every sense of the term. The plot is overly romantic and fantastical. The scenery is beautiful, but many times overly lit and washed out. However, everything just seems to work to make this an enjoyable romantic adventure. It’s not going to blow you away, but it won’t bore you to death either....

Depending on how deep one wants to dive into the romantic comedy Letters to Juliet, will more than likely reflect their overall opinion on the flick. Words such as 'Why' and 'How' rang in my head when taking the material presented at face-value. By keeping my head 'above water' I was able to tread over the 105...
