A great movie that has held up well over time. Feels like a European movie. Sweet and warm.

Entertaining. Great cast. Kate Capshaw is a delight to watch.

This is a charming film with a multi generational script. The letter is found and ignites feelings again and again as different characters find it.

There is little story here and definitely no interesting characters.

It would have been great. It seemed to be in the romantic comedy genre, but romantic comedies are supposed to have happy endings. To me, the only ending that was happy was the protagonist's mom--and the very minor policeman character. I wanted the protagonist to wind up with someone different and felt bad for the person she didn't wind up with. I also wanted the young girl to wind up with the man she wanted. The movie was more like real life. We watch romantic comedy for a happy break from real life when the world is crashing down around us. The premise was otherwise great. The scenery was beautiful, and the acting was good.

I think the critics were too harsh. Talented cast and interesting plot twists- my husband and I both enjoyed it a lot.

This was a charming, romantic movie. A little quirky and with some great actors.

A MUST SEA bit of romantic & comedy....a romedy. Geraldine McEwan is simply irresistible.

highly recommended ..for those who love writing and reading love letters,and send post cards :)

For many years I said that this was the worst movie I'd ever seen. Then I saw Be Kind Rewind.

harmless little romantic thing on the sea shore. nothing much to it but enjoyable anyhow.

Okay in an emotional kind of way. Slight humor. Slow moving.

What a sweet, gentle, warm, quietly humorous little movie. I loved the excellent performances of the all star cast and the quirky wit of the dialogue. This is what I like romcom to be. How enjoyable.

Sweet, quirky movie about an anonymous and unaddressed love letter that everyone thinks was meant for them. Not great, but not as dreadful as some critics or reviews suggest.

★★ (out of four) A bland and uneven romantic comedy that aspires to be warm and whimsical, but falls flat. None of the characters are very interesting and all the actors seem pretty bored by the preceedings. Kate Capshaw plays Helen, the owner of a bookstore in a small New England coastal town. Her friend from high school (Tom Selleck) has been in love with her for years but is afraid to tell her. She is also the object of the affections of a young man (Tom Everett Scott), who is half her age. One day an unsigned love letter shows up at her store. It is romantic and moves her. Before long, the entire town is obssessed with find out who authored the letter. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v48/Zeppo1/LoveLetterThe.jpg[/IMG]

I like this film even though I can see it did not get great ratings. It was an enjoyable movie with likable, human characters played against an authentic small town New England feel. When you're rating films, they're not all supposed to be rated as though they were classics or Oscar-worthy. You rate them based on likability, balance of plot and characters, as well as the artistic value of the cinematography, acting, and overall direction of the film. In that way, this film gets my good side. By no means is this an amazing film, but it is a great film to watch and relax and forget about things for awhile. Good films do that, they get you out of your current state of being while still remaining real and human.

the ending was surprising and quite revealing, it was worth watching.

The New England of Dangerous Liaisons.

Bland but any romance will do

The film was okay for me, although I got confused with some parts and knew it was something else than what I expected before watching this. There's more drama and little or no comedy, and I didn't get what's with 'The Love Letter' and who wrote it. It was good seeing Ellen DeGeneres' acting performance here, though.
