Rating: 7.2/10Film Class: B
Genre: Romantic Drama
I love it! Not the lead actress, nor the cliche ending but the overall feel it gave me. It was more than a light-hearted girl flick movie, it was heart-warming and at times even touching. Story was a little exaggerated in reality (due to the fairytale-like bits) but in the context of a fictional on-screen film, it carried a hope-giving message to anyone out there who still wonders about the "what ifs" regarding our first love.
An american journalist wannabe goes on a honeymoon trip with her chef boyfriend to Italy. However, instead of spending quality alone time together, he takes her to visit places which would help in the opening of his new restaurant. That resulted in each doing their separate things and was when she came across Verona's courtyard where many heart-broken girls would write letters to "Juliet", and the letters would be answered by her secretaries. Volunteering to help out, she chances upon a 50 year old love message and decided to help bring the two lovers together despite all odds.
Great acting performances delivered by the cast and the scenic cinematography was totally awesome. Almost felt like a hybrid of a travelogue and a movie, all in all, a good watch!!
