After school today, Kai, Liz and myself, we went to watch to Letters To Juliet. Initially, me and kai wanted to watch Eclipse.. Then Liz watched it already. So yeah, we settled with Letters To Juliet. Also, "someone" said that there were sexual references, so it'll be fun! HAHAH! Anyway, here's the review of the movie..

Synopsis:

Letters To Juliet is an enchanting love story -- a tale of encountering new sparks and rekindling old flames. When Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), a young American, travels to Verona, Italy -- the romantic city where Romeo first met Juliet -- she meets a group of volunteers who respond to letters written to Juliet seeking romantic advice. Sophie finds and answers a letter that has been lost for 50 years, and is stunned when its author Claire (Vanessa Redgrave) arrives in Italy with her handsome but overprotective grandson (Christopher Egan) to find the fiance she left decades before. Fascinated by Claire's quest, Sophie joins them on an adventure through the beautiful hills of Tuscany searching for Claire's long lost Lorenzo. The journey will change their lives forever, as they discover it's never too late to find true love.

Reviews from viewers:

1) Movie Lover reviews: Letters to JulietYou never know what you’re going to get with director Gary Winick. This is the man responsible for both the loveably earnest 13 Going On 30 and the thoroughly insufferable Bride Wars. It’s that type of cinematic cognitive dissonance that makes my critical brain implode. It just goes to show that there’s a thin pink line between saccharine and sweet and in Winick’s case, the balance often falls upon the strength of the script and the presence of his leading lady.

2) Cinema Online reviews Letters To Juliet: "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou?" Shakespeare's "Romeo And Juliet" have shaped many ideas about true love and the setting for "Letters To Juliet" will add more.Sophie (Amanda Seyfried, last seen in 2009's "Jennifer's Body") is an aspiring writer who goes on vacation in Verona, Italy.

Okay! Enough of the reviews from other people. So here's my view of the movie. The movie has a very good story line. Kinda cliche but it's nice to those who want to feeling feeling in love ah. HAHA! The starting and middle part can get very dry cause they went through the same motion by finding this Lorenzo guy. So yeah, it was kinda boring but not as boring as can make me sleep one la. And I never fall asleep throughout the movie =)) Second time this year! HAHAH! Towards the end of the movie, things starting to get more exciting. The old women met her Lorenzo and the young women met her soulmate. Destiny.. HAHA! This is not a spoiler k. Every love story is like that so every sane person should be able to guess what happens. So this is not a spoiler =) Overall the show was good! Something that I can watch, my taste of movie la. But I think that I've lost my soft spot for love =(( Ahhhhhhhh!!

For those who havent watched the movie, I hope the trailer would be of help...



Catch the movie while you still can! And it's best if you catch it with your loved ones =)) Bring BF la GF la or whoever la. HAHAH! Enjoy!
