Director: Gary Winick
Stars: Amanda Seyfried, Christopher Egan, Vanessa Redgrave
Aspiring writer Sophie (Seyfried) travels to Italy with her fiance on a pre-honeymoon vacation. When he ditches her for tours of his vendors and suppliers (he owns an Italian restaurant in New York), she explores Verona on her own. When she comes across "Juliet's house", she discovers a wall filled with letters written to Juliet by women who need advice on love. She then finds out that a group of women reply to each letter that has a return address, writing as Juliet. Intrigued, she joins them and replies to a letter written 50 years ago.
So she is very surprised when, a few days later, she meets Claire (Redgrave), the woman who wrote the letter to Juliet, asking for advice on whether or not to run away with Lorenzo, the man she loved. Inspired by her letter and comes back to Italy to find her love Lorenzo and apologize for leaving him.
But they never kept in touch, so it's up to Sophie, Claire, and Claire's grandson Charlie (Egan) to find this Lorenzo, among all the other Lorenzo's with the same surname.
It's a really sweet story, and the only fault I find with it is that it's cheesy. Cheesy but lovely!
