To call this 'a romantic comedy-drama' is to imply an involving emotional core and a witty sense of humor that simply aren't there.

Reviews for The Love Letter
Irritatingly cozy and with few unexpected turns, the film is just too cute for its own good.
Thanks to a nicely written screenplay and intelligent direction, the soap stays reasonably bubbly and doesn't leave a sticky feeling on your skin.
