"Letters to Juliet"...

What an amazing little film "Letters to Juliet" is.

It's about an American girl on vacation in Italy with her fiance, who finds an unanswered "letter to Juliet" -- one of thousands left at the fictional lovers' Verona courtyard, typically answered by "secretaries of Juliet." When she sets out to find the lovers referenced in the letter, the story unfolds in unimaginably satisfying ways.

Of course, with a $30M budget, you expect quality. But, Director Gary Winick has turned out a real beauty, relatable for both young and not so young lovers alike.

Amanda Seyfried as "Sophie" and Christopher Egan as "Charlie" are wonderful actors with great chemistry. And, Vanessa Redgrave as "Claire" is a delight, with her husband playing a surprise role.

Two thumbs up for "Letters to Juliet"!
