Review of Letters to Juliet (2010) by Barokah R — 02 Jan 2011

I rented this because I had an iTunes gift card, didn't have anything else particular to get and it looked sweet. And thats what it is. At least it has that potential. A young woman in a disappointing engagement helps a widow find her long lost first love. It has a light, openness to the colors, countrysides, and also the acting. It's pleasant to watch, has some nice ideas, but isn't very strong. It could be gentle and sweet but still have that strength of an inspiring or surprising love story. The whole point of the search is shown in the trailer so it isn't a surprise but still nice. And the youthful relationships had some good points but I wasn't awed like I felt would have been the direction. The most touching moment is between Claire and Sophie, it's definitely a girl thing.

So, I'd say feel free to watch and enjoy the gentle love story.
