Letters to Juliet
Amanda Seyfried goes on holiday to Italy's Verona and answers love letters believed to be lost.
Image gallerySophie imaged her pre-honeymoon would be more romantic. But when her fiancé keeps leaving her on her own, she goes off to discover Verona by herself. She finds a 50-year-old love letter under Juliet's balcony, answers it - and meets its author, now an old lady, who soon returns to Verona to find her lost love. She brings along her grandson, whom Sophie finds intolerable. The trio nevertheless goes in search of the letter's intended recipient...
This Verona is a magical place: no mass tourism; no graffiti; Tuscany is an idyllic location, its countryside bathed in the golden evening sun, with charming, renovated towns and welcoming residents who immediately invited visitors for lunch - all the Italian clichés are covered. An entertaining movie, but the «it's never too late to find love» message is too simple, too sweet and too foreseeable to be in any way moving.
