Letters To Juliet (2010)
Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) is engaged to a man named Victor. Before getting married, they plan a trip to Verona, Italy. It doesn't take the viewer long to realize that Victor is a self centered person who is only obsessed with his job. Therefore, he takes a trip without Sophie, leaving her behind in Verona. Upon sight seeing, Sophie runs into an area that is claimed to be Juliet's house. Many girls leave letters on the wall, asking what they should do about various love situations. Later that day, a woman takes all of the letters off the wall and puts them into a basket. Curious about what she is doing, Sophie follows. She discovers a group of women called the 'secretaries of Juliet,' who spend most of their time responding to the letters. The next day, Sophie finds a letter that had been hidden in the wall for 50 years. The letter describes a situation where a woman loved a man, but decided not to run away with him in fear of what her family would think. So, Sophie decides to write the woman back. A few days later, the woman named Claire shows up with her grandson named Charles. Thus beings the journey. Sophie, Claire, and Charles travel around Italy in search for Claire's 'romeo.' To begin with, Sophie and Charles can't stand each other. But, as time passes, it's easy to tell that the hatred is fading, and that they fall in love with each other. Sure, this is an extremely predictable movie from beginning to end. But, I thought that it was adorable. The scenery in the movie is absolutely gorgeous. It's not the greatest romantic movie in the world, but it's good. It was nice to sit in the movie theater and enjoy a romantic movie that was entertaining from beginning to end.
I gave this movie 7/10 stars on imdb.com.
