Letters To Juliet

The title of the movie captivated my attention from the start. Letters to Juliet seemed to be romantic movie, set to end on a sad note, just as Romeo and Juliet's love story.

Amanda Seyfried is Sophie, a young American girl who aspires to be a writer but is stuck doing a fact-checking job, while Gael Garcia Bernal is Victor, her fiancé, a chef who is about to open his own restaurant.

They are supposed to go on a so-called 'honeymoon' in Italy, but Victor ends up visiting more vineyards and auctions than spending quality time with Sophie. Bored with nothing to entertain herself, Sophie walks alone in the town area and chances upon women putting up letters on a wall.

She discovers that the letters were addressed to Juliet and the secretaries of Juliet will come each evening to take down the letters and answer each and every letter.

Sophie happened to find a letter that dates back 50 years when she offered to help the ladies reply the mail. Her reply was so touching that Claire, now an old woman, was encouraged to find her long lost love, Lorenzo.

Along the way, what could be expected more than failures at locating the right Lorenzo, and also Sophie falling slowly in love with Claire's grandson, Charlie, played by Christopher Egan.

Sophie knew that she shouldn't be in love with Charlie since she's engaged to Victor, but sparks fly whenever their eyes meet. Could they end up together in the end or is their union not meant to be?

The author loves watching romantic comedies while snuggled in her warm bed instead of in the dark and chilly theatres.
