Review of Letters to Juliet (2010) by Ian G — 22 Feb 2015
A very preditcable travellog romantic dramedy that actually for what it is acts as ok escapism, following a attractive couple, Seyfried and Benal, who are very successful at their respective arts inspired careers who for whatever reason decide to actually go on their honeymoon before their wedding to escape the crazy workloads of starting a new restaurant and writing commitments shortly after their nuptials.
Of course within moments of them touching down in Italy, Benal gets caught up in self centred exploration looking for new foods and wines he can bring back home for his restaurant leaving Seyfried to explore Italy and discover by accident a wall where letters seeking advice in love are left to be answered by a fictional Juliet who are really a group of spinsters.
When a 50 year old letter is found and in short return answered by the writter and her grandson, Seyfrieds own adventure begins which challenges her own sense of what love is. Totally glossy and movie logic explaining whats best for a couple and what love is, the film is helped by the chemistry of Seyfried Chris Eagen as her new suitor and Redgrave being the optimist elder statement.
Brainless fluff but engaging for what it is.
