Letters to Juliet

This last weekend on Saturday night (after the priesthood session of the LDS General Conference), I watched Letters to Juliet with some family. The first time I watched it was with my wife while we were dating before we got married. We watched it in a theater in Pocatello, Idaho. This is one of the few romantic films that both Julie and I love (Julie loves Jane Austen films).

Starring actors/actresses like Amanda Seyfried, Gael García Bernal, Vanessa Redgrave, and Christopher Egan, this film is a clean romantic film. The message centers around that sometimes true love never dies through the years. Amanda Seyfried, who plays the main character, Sophie, helps Claire (Vanessa Redgrave), find her true love from childhood years. 

I highly recommend this film to everyone not only because this is a clean film, but because also it is a feel-good film. You get to experience two love stories of two women one who is old in years but still in search of her true love and the other a woman who is searching for a story to write and ends up finding much more than that. It has great character development and is set in some of the most amazing areas of Italy.

This really is one of the cleanest modern romantic films out there.

IMDB.com says this for a storyline summary:

An American girl on vacation in Italy finds an unanswered "letter to Juliet" -- one of thousands of missives left at the fictional lover's Verona courtyard, which are typically answered by a the "secretaries of Juliet" -- and she goes on a quest to find the lovers referenced in the letter. 

This film is rated PG for brief rude behavior, some language and incidental smoking. The main language is that of taking God's name in vain. That only happens every once in a while.  I personally don't think those few things take away from the main story.The brief rude behavior is as it says, "brief". It is a rude hand gesture near the first part of the film. Go to this link, parents guide, to see a description of why it is rated PG.
