Review of Letters to Juliet (2010) by Maymay A — 29 Mar 2011
This is really cute movie; I enjoyed it more than most romantic comedies. All the characters are predictable and stereotypes but charming nonetheless. Amanda Seyfried as Sophie is an excellent lead. She carries the film, and you'll love her and empathize with her.
I liked her and the film more than her previous effort, Mama Mia. You will root for Vanessa Redgrave's character, and you may even remember Franco Nero. He's a spaghetti western veteran well cast as sort of an older man sex symbol.
The English boy, Chris Egan as Charlie; he's so over the top anal and obnoxious, you'll want to shut him up by any means necessary. However, predictably by the end of the film, Charlie finally sheds his rough exterior and displays his tender true inner self.
The cinematography is awesome; it alone makes the film worth viewing. Like Diane Lane's Under the Tuscan sun before it, Letters to Juliet demonstrates that Tuscany is the hot locale now for those yearning for romance.
