Fairy tale romance. I liked this more than I expected to. Getting sucked into the beautiful locations and then the story which you reach a point with where you just have to see through, will she find Lorenzo?The story follows wannabe writer Amanda Seyfried, vacationing in Verona Italy with her busy fiancé. She goes to a wall where the heartbroken leave notes to Shakespeare's tragic heroine, Juliet. Finding a letter from 1957 she decides to write back to the now elderly author who then comes to Verona with her grandson. The trio set out to find Vanessa Redgraves long lost Lorenzo. A simple and enjoyable movie with breathtaking views, made me want to return to Italy.

Simply a fairytale. This movie is truly so beautiful. My heart is so full everytime I watch it!

They've tried to make it a classic location based romantic film for teenager girls, but while doing so they've tried to target the mature audience as well with half-attempted tongue in cheek dialogs. For me, this has failed miserably as the whole Brit Vs Americano recipe really doesn't work in this pan. Amanda Seyfried and Christopher Egan simply do not develop any chemistry on the screen, which gives Gael García Bernal a clear lead in the acting department. Amanda Seyfried is a wooden actress with no acting in her eyes and both she and Christopher Egan are painfully slow with their meant-to- be-sharp dialogs. Plot wise it doesn't offer any salvation either. The moment Christopher Egan enters, you know what's going to happen. Stereotypical first hate and than love story line. I enjoyed the locations yes, but all in all it's a an avoidable movie with predictable plot.
