Letters to Juliet: DVD Review
Letters To Juliet
Released by
Sony Home Pictures
Rating: PG
Amanda Seyfried stars as the soon to be married American researcher
Sophie, who heads to Verona with her fiancée Victor (Gabriel Garcia Bernal) to
enjoy a pre marriage break.
But instead of
splurging on the culture or her, Victor spends a lot more of his time meeting
with suppliers for his restaurant and leaves Sophie to her own devices.
So, Sophie ends up under that infamous balcony where
many a star crossed lover posts a "letter to Juliet" asking for help. As Sophie
follows a gaggle of ladies who answer these letters, she finds herself
questioning her own life and destiny.
Things get
worse when she answers a letter written years ago - and that response brings the
writer and her grandson to Verona in search of true love.
What can you say about Letters to Juliet? It's another romantic
comedy which is light and frothy and pitches squarely for a certain audience
who'll be happy with this latest entry into the rom com genre - high art it
certainly is not. Beautifully shot though it is - still, with a canvas like
Verona to work from, that's not surprising.
There's a few cheesy contrived moments as well as some predictable
moments but all in all Letters to Juliet delivers exactly what you'd expect.
Extras: Deleted scenes, audio with
Amanda Seyfried and director, the making of, plus a look at the courtyard which
is so iconic.
Rating: 4/10
