It's not horrible, it's not terrible, it's not bad, it's just stupid. A young woman on an Italian vacation helps an old woman find her long lost love blah blah blah.
A starring vehicle for an actor named Amanda Seyfried, she has to be charming enough to carry the entire film. Seyfried is no Audrey Hepburn, she's just another bland blond who can't work up any charm or chemistry with her costar an equally bland blond named Chris Egan.
This leaves Vanessa Redgrave and her real life significant other Franco Nero to carry the emotional heart of the film, but they have hardly any scenes together. So that leaves only the Italian scenery worth watching and frankly that's not much of a reason to sit through Letters to Juliet.
A film that was made for the express purpose of letting the cast and crew have a free vacation in Italy on the studio's dollar, I'm sure everybody had a nice time.
The star of the film, Amanda Seyfried's lack of charisma sent her back to the kind roles she is best at, hookers and porn stars in films like Chloe and the forthcoming Linda Lovelace biography.
105 minutes.
