Review of Letters to Juliet (2010) by Dg J — 01 Apr 2011
Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) is an American young woman who works for The New Yorker and is a fact checker. To put some spark in her life, she decides to go on a 'pre-honeymoon' with her chef fiancé Victor (Gael Garcia Bernal) to Verona.
However the workaholic Victor is unmoved by the romance of Italy and utilises his time to do research for his soon-to-open restaurant, ignoring Sophie. The lonely Sophie discovers by chance an unanswered "letter to Juliet" by Claire in the 1950's -- one of thousands of missives left at the fictional lover's Verona courtyard, which are typically answered by the "secretaries of Juliet".
She answers it and soon enough the now elderly Claire (Vanessa Redgrave) arrives in Verona with her handsome barrister grandson Charlie (Christopher Egan), who works for human rights.
