Most Romantic Comedies disappoint us because they either drag on through a lot of silliness that would never happen as blatantly as it does in the movie, or they just seem to artificially drag out the story without seeming to have a point and then they suddenly hurry the plot along as if running out of film.
This one does none of that; it doesn’t drag at any point, the scenery was amazing and obviously the director spent a lot of time getting the scenic shots right because while not obvious some were taken in late spring while others were taken in early fall.
The two principle actors Amanda Seyfried and Vanessa Redgrave were perfect in their parts while Adriano Guerri, Christopher Egan and Gael García Bernal were outstanding in support.
This is one of the best romantic comedies we’ve seen in a while.
When a young American (Amanda Seyfried) travels to the city of Verona, home of the star-crossed lover Juliet Capulet of Romeo and Juliet fame, she joins a group of volunteers who respond to letters to Juliet seeking advice about love.
After answering one letter dated 1957, she inspires its author (Vanessa Redgrave) to travel to Italy in search of her long-lost love, and sets off a chain of events that will bring a love into both their lives unlike anything they ever imagined.
