Director : Gary Winick
Running Time : 106 mins
Aspiring journalist Sophie Hall (Seyfried) takes a holiday with her fiancée Victor (Bernal) to Verona in Italy where Victor is due to open a restaurant. She finds a “letter to Juliet” – a love letter addressed to Shakespeare’s heroine left in the fictional lover’s courtyard - from an elderly woman named Claire Smith (Redgrave) and decides to make it her mission to find her long-lost love. But Claire brings along her grandson Charlie Wyman (Egan), and the two taking an instant disliking to each other.
This is an awkwardly made movie that doesn’t really have any direction for the lead character. Her relationship with Egan’s character feels forced and unlikely, and the final resolution of the movie did not feel realistic in my eyes. Don’t bother unless you really enjoy Seyfried’s romantic comedies, though this has little or no comedy in it. In fact, a bit of comedy might have helped.
