Letters to Juliet

Image
It was so refreshing to watch a romantic movie in which the female is actually quite pleasant!   This film was straight romance, though, with no comedy to speak of. The original Romeo and Juliet (Shakespeare's version, I mean, which was stolen from, I believe, an Italian folk-tale) actually appears very little. It's only vaguely referenced as something really romantic and having to do with Verona. The star-crossed lovers' tragedy makes absolutely no impact. The idea itself, an old letter written to a literary figure which is answered by a group of dedicated and romantic women, actually makes some kind of sense. Anyway, it was cute. Not especially deep or meaningful, but cute, and less annoying than most.
