| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 3, 2011

The picture never looks fussed-over or flattened -- it breathes, as opposed to just looking merely pretty.

Full Review | Original Score: 8.5/10 | Jul 6, 2010

Both exasperatingly vapid and easy to sit through.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 6, 2010

A gloriously tacky Italian romance.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 6, 2010

The film unravels in a dispiriting morass of clichés and cringy lines.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 6, 2010

As an antidote to the sugar, what we need now is a grumpy film called Letters to Lady Macbeth, in which malcontents leave rage-filled missives in the battlements of Glamis Castle.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 10, 2010

Seyfried acts like she's spaced out on limoncello in a role even Kate Hudson would have turned down.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 10, 2010

The script, sighing, twittering and doing D.H. Lawrence lite, would be rejected as too whimsical by Mills and Boon.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 9, 2010

This is an all-fudging, all-sludging Cheesepocalypse Now of a movie.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 9, 2010

I was with Sophie's journey right from the start, Claire's quest for a fabled lost romance one that held my heart in the palm of its hand making me care about the outcome far more than it arguably had any right to do.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 20, 2010

Doubt that the stars are fire, but never doubt that Letters to Juliet is the biggest load of weepie sludge we are likely to see this year. Naturally, I quite enjoyed it.

I want to live in the alternate universe where Vanessa Redgrave's Claire is the lead of Letters to Juliet and the two vapid dorks who trail her on a journey of lost love can learn a lesson or two but never take the spotlight.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 14, 2010

Not to be a cynic or anything, but maybe a fictional 13-year-old isn't the best source of advice for the lovelorn.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 14, 2010

As you might guess, after a great deal of sniping Sophie and Charlie supposedly fall for each other. But the audience never buys it.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 14, 2010

An amusing, touching, reassuringly wholesome romantic travelogue of a film that flies by on its way to the inevitable happy ending.

| Original Score: B | May 14, 2010

Cinematographer Marco Pontecorvo's sun-drenched palette would be a perfectly sound reason to see this film, but happily it's not the only one.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | May 14, 2010

Letters to Juliet represents an interesting paradox: it is a movie that is very nearly perfect without being especially good.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 14, 2010

What's so awful about taking a breather? It's enough to bask in the pastoral prettiness and the unexpected harmony of Seyfried and Redgrave.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 14, 2010

Save yourself 10 bucks, and an hour and 45 minutes of your precious time.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 14, 2010
