In this month of Robin Hood, Iron Man 2 and Elm Street movies, we could use a little break from all the noise.
Enter Letters To Juliet. A new movie this week at the box office with a slightly lower volume, payroll and budget. And also a much more under control story that frankly isn't the best movie on earth. But it's not bad either.
LTJ is a slightly elaborate love story that takes place essentially in Verona, Italy, the most romantic city on earth. Where young love, meets older love. Ancient traditions give way to a modern spin on having love, finding love and rekindling love. Shot in the wonderful city of Verona and the Italian country side, LTJ has a real nice look and a real nice feel too.
Amanda Seyfried stars as our heroine Sophie. She is engaged, but after a trip to Verona, she isn't for sure that her fiance' is he one, and meets a new love. But it's complicated, as he is the grandson of her new friend played by Vanessa Redgrave who is just charming in her small but important role. Will Sophie find love and will it all work out? I'm guessing yes.
LTJ really isn't a romantic comedy, it's just nice little movie. Kind of has the Chocolate' feel to it. Yea, it's a bit predictable, and far-fetched and a bit silly at times, but it's a welcome change of pace right now. Sometimes timing is everything, and this is out at the right time. It feels good. It is also a perfect date movie for many reasons.
Letters To Juliet. It's not perfect by any means. but not many movies are. For young or old people in love, or wanting to be it's a good night at the movies. Well Done.
