I saw this movie during a sneak screening on Mohter's Day and it was fantastic. The casting was very well done and the story moves through the beautiful Italian countryside. It is a lovely story about Sophie, a fact checker, who responds to a letter written to Juliet over 50 years ago. The story evolves from there as Clare searches for her lost Romeo with the help of Charlie and Sophie who are finding love of their own.
This is a great movie to watch with the whole family.
Even though the movie is 2 hours long there are things that readers would want to see in film that are not there so consider yourself warned. I enjoyed the movie emensely but there were parts that came off funny when they really shouldn't have. The movie feels a little choppy as it tries to incoporate as much of the book as possible but you get used to it and it adds to the effect. I really did enjoy the movie as a whole even though there were little things I would like to see done differently.
For any guys out there, I had a male(20-23) sitting next to me and his comment was "I have made fun of this movie for months and now I feel stupid because I actually liked it." And he hadn't read the books.
