"Letters to Juliet"

Comedy and Romance. Rated PG. 1 hour, 45 minutes.

Letters to Juliet is a story about a girl, Sophie, played by Amanda Seyfried, who works for the New Yorker magazine as a fact checker.

She goes to Verona, Italy, a city where Romeo & Juliet were from, and sees letters to Juliet posted on a brick wall. One day there was a woman taking down the letters and Sophie follows her to this office with a bunch of ladies who answers each and every letter. She eventually joins the group.

The film also stars Vanessa Redgrave, Gael Garcia Bernal, Franco Nero and Chris Egan. It was distributed by Summit Entertainment. Letters to Juliet is rated PG for brief rude behavior, some language and incidental smoking. It was shot in Bryant Park in New York City, Siena in Italy, Soave in Italy and Verona in Italy.

So the next day she helps take down the letters and a brick falls on the ground. Inside and hidden was a letter written in 1957 from a British woman, Claire, played by Vanessa Redgrave, asking that she lost the man she loved from when she was 15 years old and what should she do?

Sophie writes her back and inspires her to come to Italy to search for her one true love. They travel the Italian countryside going to every person's house that was named Lorenzo Bartelini. They tried and tried but with no luck. As they were driving to the airport to go home, Claire passes a vineyard and winery and asks to stop for a good bye toast.

Lo and behold there was Lorenzo. What happens after that, you will have to see the movie.

Amanda Seyfried is the actress that played in the movie Dear John, so if you liked that one, you will love this one. This is truly the best love story ever told.

I liked the movie and would recommend it.

OVERALL RATING: A-

Letters to Juliet opens in theaters nationwide on Friday.
