Strictly speaking, I didn't find it to be a romantic comedy. It was more like a romance with mild humor.
Regardless, I found this film, the last directed by Gary Winick before he died, to be entertaining and romantic with its dual love stories.
The "feel-good" film leaves viewers with a sense of optimism and hope that romance and love can be found at any age.
MOVIE DESCRIPTION
Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) is on a pre-honeymoon in Verona and inadvertently finds an old unanswered letter asking for love advice from Juliet. She discovers that this is a traditional practice in Verona with the letters answered by a group of women who write as Juliet.
Sophie takes it upon herself to answer the decades-old letter which brings the letter-writer (Vanessa Redgrave) to Verona, along with her cranky grandson (Christopher Egan). Together the three go in search of the woman's long-lost love (Franco Nero).
The film was inspired by the 2006 non-fiction book Letters to Juliet by Lise Eve Friedman and Ceil Jann Friedman, about the phenomenon of writing letters to Shakespeare's Juliet.
TAKEAWAY TRUTH
I enjoyed Letters to Juliet very much. I'm sure if you're not a Netflix subscriber that you can purchase the movie from Amazon.
