This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Sadly the last film directed by Gary Winick before he died, this is an enjoyable enough romantic film, with a good central performance from Amanda Seyfried.It's very soppy and sentimental, but it's a moving film about second chances, and the need for hope both in a relationship and in life.I thought it was a nice film, and well worth a watch.

This was a pretty good romantic movie with nothing new in terms of formula and plot...but it's still enjoyable, especially with Amanda Seyfried in the lead and a good cast to back her up. This follow Seyfried as she's a writer/journalist who travels to Italy to meet her fiancé and follow up on some stories about letters to Juliet that were supposed to have been written. (Yes, the Juliet from the Shakespeare play.) She finds the letter, including one that's 50 years old, and it upsets a man from London that she meets.This is a good romance that pleases from start to finish with good shots of the Italian countryside and good characters. I liked it and you will too.** 1/2 out of ****

First of all I would like to clarify a few things. I watch a lot of movies. Also I read a lot. This puts me in a situation where I can almost instantaneously grab the plot.So as the movie opened, It tried to carry a good mood (like incorporating the paintings into the roll credits was a indeed a good idea) but, I think it did not serve its purpose. Movie shows Sophie to be an aspiring writer. It implies that she would publish her book at the end of the movie. The pre-honeymoon concept is something I din not like it. Also, a brief intro of her to be husband in the noodles shop means he is NOT going to be her husband its clear. This shows she will fall in love with someone in her trip.Coming to the main plot, I would say this is going to be happy ending story. Which means Sophie and that guy will be married & the old woman and Lorenzo will be married. Further the movie progresses, one could easily identify the next scene, this puts the movie into a place where there is nothing special nor any surprise element in it. This is very important for a love story particularly if the narration or screenplay is very weak.Negatives / Drawbacks :-1. The acting is terrible (I tell this because I always look take acting part very seriously. The actors of any film have to act in such away that we will simply cease to believe that they are indeed acting. We simply forget that its a film and we are so engrossed that we believe that it is a situation happening before us. I did not find that in any actor except the old Lorenzo). 2. The weak and predictable plot 3. Narrative type of documentary styled cinematography 4. Poor usage of budget or less budget.People who could have done the roles1. Kate Winslet for the old woman 2. Natalie Portman / Rebbecca Ferguson for Sophie 3. Leonardo Dicaprio / Matt Damon / Micheal Fassbender / Benedict Cumberbatch / Tom hardy for the grand son Charlie role. I personally feel that the role should be given to Matt Damon 4. Lorenzo could be done by the guy who actually did the role in the film or it could be given to Robert DE niro or jack NicholsonPlot holes (Not errors, but plot holes.) 1. Why would Sophie write that letter when there are more experienced people there 2. what if the old Lorenzo is dead 3. Why would her fiancé not stay with her is a point even a child can understand but not Sophie 4. Why did the publisher publish the book if its unfinished, also he was the one who asked her not to write. 5. what if Sophie drew the circle and maybe Lorenzo not be there in that radius, 6. And finally, why is every old guy in Italy interested in the old ladyPositives :-1. The acting of old Lorenzo saved the film in its final moments. 2. Although the locations could be better, they are not bad (kind of visual delight sometimes) 3. Cinematography and music(I am telling you, if there is anything that saved this film, its the music and cinematography)I would rate this film 6.9/10 because i believe that they could make this film better and i really do not want to give it a 7/10 rating.

If you haven't seen this movie yet, shame on you! Don't even bother reading through reviews, just buy it and start watching because I promise you, after 1 minute, you're hooked. From the moment this movie begins, it takes you in. You get drawn into the story of life and finding that thing we search for the most: love. The characters in this movie are so well played and the chemistry with the three leads makes you want to get on a plane and visit Italy straight away. I say this because you want to experience that magic of the country yourself and maybe on the way find love as well. You can almost feel the thrill when knocking on a door and waiting for it to open. The feeling that you could be one second away from seeing that person again after so long and wondering if you still recognize each other. Imagine you would write Juliet a letter, left it on the wall and 50 years later got a reply. This movie leaves me with a question every time, because in the old days, people fell in love and if that didn't work out well, they would live their whole life with ache in their heart for the love they lost or couldn't have. We on the other hand, in our modern world with all kinds of ways to communicate with each other would not hesitate to give up on someone after a few months or years. But, had you lived back then, what would you do if after all those years, you got a reply. Ask yourself, what would I do? Still reading this? Stop right now and press play because you already wasted a few minutes of time!
