thefrontporchpeople Our reviewers, Les Roberts and Ann Elder, believe that the cute story line makes for a nice, fluffy Romantic Comedy. However, they had mixed opinions about the casting. Amanda Seyfried's disappointing performance nearly ruined the film for them, and they believe she lacks the acting talent to play an ordinary person. However, Franco Nero and Vanessa Redgraves' performances blew them away. It was heartfelt beyond most on-screen performances, because it was filmed shortly after they reunited in romance off-screen. These seasoned actors help to move along and hold together the story, even though Seyfried struggled in the lead role.

Audrey Sarah From the whole story, I do believe that total care would melt a closed-heart. It does affect me that whatever I believe for love reason, it will results as beautiful as I deserved. Also, if we ever heard that "Walls are listening, while wind do the speaking," quote, than talking about love isn't stuck only in our mind. Our environment also 'support' us in other way. Like Juliet Wall in Vienna, for me personal, it isn't just myth or folk-tale. It is a good media to share feelings (and I know that Juliet Secretary said they're really replying the letter, they mentioned me on a social media), but at the end, true love exist, and if we deserve true love, we are having it on the bottom of our heart.

Python Hyena Letters to Juliet (2010): Dir: Gary Winick / Cast: Amanda Seyfried, Christopher Egan, Vanessa Redgrave, Gael Garcia Bernal, Franco Nero: Shakespeare has always been the figure for love and tragedy. Here we have a romance addressing the heroine who has seen it all. Amanda Seyfried is in Italy with her fiancé and becomes intrigued with a group a ladies who answer letters addressed to Juliet with regards to love and relationships. Seyfried contacts an elderly woman whose letter dates back to 1957. With reluctance of her grandson they begin an odyssey to find the male whom she nearly married. Director Gary Winick has fun with the Shakespeare theme although the screenplay is pretty thin. Winick previously directed the romantic themed 13 Going On 30 as well as the non romantic Charlotte's Web. Seyfriend holds her own as this curious young woman fascinated with love that has aged by decades. Christopher Egan as the grandson basically gets reduced to a back and forth spat with Seyfried until he arrives where viewers all know is obvious. Vanessa Redgrave as the grandmother in search of her past Romeo is very good as she accepts Seyfried as a friend and encounters one false Romeo after another since several bear the same name. Will she meet the real one? Is the sky blue? Gael Garcia Bernal as Seyfried's Italian cook fiancé is written out conveniently and never played as anything but a lousy plot prop. This might make for a decent date film although males may prefer something more upbeat and less sappy. The Shakespeare theme will make the letter worth opening only for chick flick fans. Score: 6 / 10

dominicmoss I gave this film 1 because 0 was not available. I watched it under protest and with a sense of increasing disbelief. I had to endure this film when I would much rather have watched something vaguely intelligent.The clunky acting, the absence of chemistry and the plodding, predictable and totally unrealistic story-line represent a total waste of celluloid. I pity those who produced this drivel. I am astounded at the gushing reviews some people have given this totally risible film. Romantic Comedies tend to stretch credulity but this sorry affair takes such licence to totally new and insulting levels. I am not normally given to negativity but this film is just atrocious.
