Letters to Juliet

Summary: Story of a girl who helps someone find their long lost love and finds her own along the way. Not an original storyline and you know how it is going to end with a balcony scene included but you enjoy the journey anyways.

Critique: The dialogue was pretty clever in the banter. The scenery was gorgeous. The acting wasn’t horrible, except for the finance but then again maybe he was playing his role well to cause that reaction. And who can resist the fact that Vanessa Redgrave’s long lost love is played by real life husband Franco Nero. Amore! Add the Monkees song “I’m a Believer” sung in Italian and you have an enjoyable Romantic Comedy.

Side note: I can’t believe that it took six months of advertising to launch this film. When I first saw the trailer in November I thought it was coming out in February. That is a much as plug as a blockbuster film. But than again it worked because I went and saw it on opening weekend.
