This movie was simply awful - Boring, bland & extrememly predictable. I gave it a 1 for a nice location, but it lost a lot of points for wasting a couple of hours of my life. That's it i'm afraid.

True, it's sappy, predictable fluff, but it's pretty good sappy, predictable fluff.

After seeking out several lorenzos (the remake, if set in the u.s., would no doubt name him darrell), granny finally finds her man... and zounds, a jillion years since their first meeting at (her) age 15, he's still alive. [***SPOILER***] Sadly, she would expire just months later. also, sadly, this theater didn't offer kettlekorn. whenever i leave a theater without having downed a bucket, i figure if I'm happy, it was a decent flick. better logic than many professional critics out there I'd say.… Expand

All I can say is save your husbands/boyfriends/dates from this really cheesy movie. I usually love fluffy chic flicks but this one really goes over board at times..the soundtrack and use of music doesnt help in this regard.

However, you do get to see beautiful Italy and the two main characters played by Egan and Seyfried are charming. Egan is especially cute. Bring your girlfriends or wait for the rental!… Expand

This is a movie that believes in emotion and sentiment. If you go in looking for drama or action you're gonna be disappointed. It works on a lot of levels. Its visually beautiful.

It works on a lot of levels. Its visually beautiful. The cinematographer even makes NYC look nice. Having been to both Verona and Sienna I can say that they are truly as beautiful as in the film. Are there corny parts? Yah! Love usually has corny parts. Go with an open heart and you won't be disappointed.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. At the 1978 Academy Awards ceremony, Vanessa Redgrave did a very punk rock thing; she spoke her mind. While accepting her Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Fred Zimmerman's "Julia", Redgrave, a PLO supporter, referred to the Jewish Defense League as "Zionist hoodlums", in response to the death threats, and the witnessing of herself being burned in effigy outside The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. "Arafat's whore"(as she was called) did not stick to the script. Needless to say, Redgrave was lustily booed by her peers. Three months earlier, as "Julia" was doing solid business in theaters nationwide, fellow Brit Elvis Costello whipped up some civil disobedience of his own, scaring NBC censors when the punk rocker brought "Less Than Zero" to a screeching halt, before ordering the Attractions to start anew with "Radio Radio" on "Saturday Night Live". But nobody stays irascible forever, as evidenced by Costello's collaborations with artists outside the realm of popular music, most notably, The Brodsky Quartet, the esteemed musicians who backed the former angry young man on "The Juliet Letters", a baroque anti-rock cycle of songs inspired by a Verona professor's answering of letters that were postmarked for the famed Capulet. Redgrave, as well, in "Letters to Juliet", playing Claire, an old woman searching for a man named Lorenzo, fifty years(incidentally, the same numerical edition of the Oscars that yielded her gold statuette) after forsaking her first love, would seem to have mellowed out, likewise. Despite Claire's maternal gravitation toward the motherless Sophie(Amanda Seyfried), recipient of a tender hairbrushing and other surrogate mother actions, Redgrave goes rogue on us. In an act of protestation against the film's sentimentalism, the old woman gives a one-finger salute to the whole drippy enterprise, disguised as an itch on her forehead that she scratches with her middle digit during a luncheon among the Secretaries of Juliet. Does "Letters to Juliet" deserve it. Not really. But how punk.… Expand
