Critics' Pick: Letters to Juliet
In fair Verona (the setting for Shakespeare’s infamous Romeo and Juliet) lies thousands of letters seeking love advice, waiting to be answered by the fictional Capulet. And such is the basis of Summit’s latest romantic drama, Letters to Juliet, in theaters today.
Fact-checker, Sophie, who wants nothing more than to be a writer for a big New York pub, decides to take a pre-Honeymoon getaway with her fiancée to Italy. But when her fiancé opts to spend his time cooking it up in the kitchen with Italian chefs, she decides to break away and stumbles across Juliet’s courtyard. There is where she finds a letter from 1957 and starts her journey to rekindle two long-lost loves.
We caught the movie before it hit theaters and have to say, it’s light, enjoyable and will definitely make you wonder if there really is such a thing as destiny. For every letter in the name “Juliet,” we have a reason as to why you might enjoy the flick. Check it out…
Joyful ending. Well, we’re not going to spoil it. You’ll have to see it to believe it.
Über cute co-star. The adorable Amanda Seyfried (who plays Sophie) teams up with Aussie actor Chris Egan (who plays Charlie). Great to ogle over onscreen, his fake British accent will make your heart patter. Sigh.
Love stories—and lots of them. From Sophie’s struggle with an uninterested fiancée, to a widower brave enough to find love with her grandson by her side, the movie focuses on relationships that span different generations. It’s a plot that can be enjoyed by you, your mom and your grandma all at once. Grab your fave ladies and watch along.
Innocence. The film’s rated PG, meaning there are no awkward love scenes or sitches. You definitely won’t be squirming in your seat if you do decide to catch it with Mom or Grandma.
Escapes. From the gorgeous settings of the Italian countryside, to the movie’s background music (yes, all of the lyrics are in the native tongue), you’ll feel like you’re in Verona and know the ins and outs of the surrounding area.
Totally cheesy lines—and some predictability. But, hey, what romantic flick doesn’t have that? Plus, they’ll make ya laugh.
True love doesn’t have an expiration date, or at least that’s what Letters to Juliet tries to make us believe. Now only if that fairytale message can carry over into reality. We’re out to find ya, Romeo.
Be sure to catch Letters to Juliet and let us know your thoughts.
