Our friend Ms. Latina from www.LatinaOnAMission.com was giving away tickets for screenings to the movie Letters to Juliet and I jumped at the offer.
I enjoyed the movie very much but let me begin by letting you girls know you should leave your partners at home. They are not going to enjoy the lovey dovey scenes that make us say “aw” but they will look at us like we are crazy.
The movie is all about true love that never dies.
Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), a writer from New York, goes to Italy with her fiancé Victor (Gael Garcia Bernal) for an early honeymoon. While strolling along the streets of Verona, she comes across the home of Juliet Capulet where women from all over come and write letters to Juliet awaiting an answer in return. She joins the Secretaries of Juliet in assisting women with advice about love. Sophie finds a letter from 1957 and decides she has to respond no knowing whether or not the author would ever receive it. As to her surprise, Claire (Vanessa Redgrave) received her response and it inspires her to find the love of her life. The adventure begins for Sophie, Claire and the reluctant Charlie (Christopher Egan), Claire’s grandson. Claire finds her long lost love but she wasn’t the only one to find love.
It was a great movie and can’t wait for it to come out on DVD. I definitely had a good feeling leaving the theater. Those who aren’t into romantic comedies should just watch another movie.
If you want to be one of the cool kids and see Letters for Juliet before its release on May 14th , check your local theaters for an early screening.
