This film was good. It's a love story starring Amanda Seyfried as Sophie, a girl who discovers a wall in Italy in which women write letters to Shakespeare's Juliet in hopes to help them out with their love lives. She discovers that a group of 4 ladies respond to each letter. While Sophie is helping them out, she discovers a hidden letter written over 50 years ago by Claire--a girl at the time who lost a boy, Lorenzo, and never saw him again. She responds to the letter and Claire comes to find Sophie and Sophie goes with her on a search for the man she lost years ago.
The movie is very predictable and has weak dialogue throughout. But there are some good lines here and there. The story is unique, however, and it may get you tearing up at the end. It makes you feel good. The story was a little longer than it needed to be, but there were a couple of substories, which kept the film from running out of subject matter. Sophie's fiance was very unrealistically oblivious--which got annoying at times. It was never laugh out loud funny that much. However, I think I would watch it again, simply because of the idea that it makes me feel good.
In my opinion, it was kinda like Leap Year (to the 13 people who saw that movie), but a million times better!
