Redgrave is a gem!, July 16 2010
By Meredith Jordan ""The Living Spiritual El... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: NEW Letters To Juliet (DVD) (DVD)
I took a dear elder aged friend to this movie on a bad day in his life, hoping to distract him momentarily from events he couldn't do anything about. Instead, the movie re-invigorated both of us, and brought us repeatedly to tears. Say what you want about "feel good" movies, there are times when they are just what the doctor ordered!Vanessa Redgrave is the heart of this film. The delicately fearless way she sets out to find her young lover, the grace with which she moves through the ups and downs of a process that could end in heartbreak, the care with which she brushes the young Sophie's hair...she is simply and purely lovely. Women d'un certain age should enjoy the possibilities she presents for aging beautifully.
I also suspect this movie was made after the death of Redgrave's daughter, Natasha Richardson, and so the scenes in which she calls Sophie "my darling" and loves her so freely are especially moving. Hollywood, listen up! Cast more Vanessa Redgraves, Judy Denschs and Helen Mirrens as stars in movies about life after 60, and you'll fill the theaters.

Has its flaws, but you can overlook them., May 17 2010
By Anthony Manno - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: NEW Letters To Juliet (DVD) (DVD)
I went into "Letters to Juliet" wondering if I was paying too much to see a movie that is pretty much told in the two-minute trailer.I ended up enjoying every minute of it
Sophie goes to Verona with her fiancé. Victor becomes distracted by everything that might help his new restaurant, so she finds a way to make the best of her free time. Sophie discovers a group of women who reply to letters left for the doomed heroine of William Shakespeare's classic love story.
The young woman finds a fifty-year-old letter and writes to the woman, who shows up with her uptight grandson less than a week later. The three of them set off to find the man Claire left behind.
The story is slightly predictable, but solid. The audience feels what the characters feel...whether it is Sophie's frustration toward Victor, Charlie's uncertainty about Sophie's motives, or the humor they find when each "Lorenzo" shows a very unique personality.
And the soundtrack fits perfectly.
After the movie, I initially thought the PG rating was a little harsh. Then I remembered the content that is inappropriate for children.
PG: (1) A scene where extras touch the breast of a statue; (2) An obscene gesture; (3) Alcohol use; and (4) A thematic element that will go over most viewer's heads.
This is the best romantic comedy that I have seen this year.

I am happy with "happy"., May 31 2010
By Kindred Spirit - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: NEW Letters To Juliet (DVD) (DVD)
I went to this picture with my mom because I enjoy romantic films and adore Italian landscape. I was pleasantly surprised. The cast was absolutely charming, and I didn't come away with that "why did they have to put that in there" feeling. A true "feel good" movie. So many films go along nicely then suddenly BAM! an unexpected horribly sad plot twist. This gets worse than old at times. I'm a big Austen fan, and although she wrote with unexpected plot twists she always ends with a happy, if predictable, ending. And how do "her" film adaptations do?! Awesome! Let's hope hollywood learns something here. I hated to see the film end, and could have turned right around and watched it again. Way to Go! Some great young stars shine in this film. Hope to see them around again.
Listmania!
