Not to be a cynic or anything, but maybe a fictional 13-year-old isn't the best source of advice for the lovelorn.
As you might guess, after a great deal of sniping Sophie and Charlie supposedly fall for each other. But the audience never buys it.
An amusing, touching, reassuringly wholesome romantic travelogue of a film that flies by on its way to the inevitable happy ending.
Cinematographer Marco Pontecorvo's sun-drenched palette would be a perfectly sound reason to see this film, but happily it's not the only one.
Letters to Juliet represents an interesting paradox: it is a movie that is very nearly perfect without being especially good.
... while [Vanessa] Redgrave can't cut the clichés out of Letters to Juliet entirely, she at least cuts through them occasionally.
Not even the ever-likable Seyfried at full-blast sun-kissed luminescence can win the battle against such trite, tired material nor make a viable leading man out of her pretty boy zero of a co-star.
... Succeeds on the basis of pure delight, the optimism it emits and an earned happily-ever-after ending.
If you're in the mood for some school-girl daydream fairytale, Letters to Juliet about fits the bill, but even fans of this sort of thing are likely to find themselves short of patience well before the end.
Formulaic and telegraphic, there are no surprises in this chaste, passionless movie...
It's all rather pleasant, but it's also all rather conventional.
Pisma Juliji nije film koji će se dugo pamtiti, ali predstavljaju zanatski ispeglano ostvarenje koje neće razočarati ljubitelje svog anra
Winick ladles on the cliches with shameless abandon.
A gloriously tacky Italian romance.
Both exasperatingly vapid and easy to sit through.
The picture never looks fussed-over or flattened -- it breathes, as opposed to just looking merely pretty.
Letters to Juliet...it's a chick flick thing.
The film unravels in a dispiriting morass of clichés and cringy lines.
A pair of mediocre leading men sabotage this otherwise charming chick flick.
Vanessa Redgrave and the spectacular locales of Tuscany are the main reasons to tolerate the tepid and predictable story...
You can guess the whole film but the picture postcard locations are easy on the eye and the wonderful Redgrave steals the show. Her heartfelt conviction and natural warmth slice through all the schmaltz to make the silly storyline feel real and touching.
