Not to be a cynic or anything, but maybe a fictional 13-year-old isn't the best source of advice for the lovelorn.

Amy Biancolli, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten

As you might guess, after a great deal of sniping Sophie and Charlie supposedly fall for each other. But the audience never buys it.

Stephen Cole, Globe and Mail
Fresh

An amusing, touching, reassuringly wholesome romantic travelogue of a film that flies by on its way to the inevitable happy ending.

Tom Long, Detroit News

Cinematographer Marco Pontecorvo's sun-drenched palette would be a perfectly sound reason to see this film, but happily it's not the only one.

Joy Tipping, Dallas Morning News
Rotten

Letters to Juliet represents an interesting paradox: it is a movie that is very nearly perfect without being especially good.

A.O. Scott, New York Times
