I rented this film on Lovefilm. It is unashamedly slushily romantic, being set in Tuscany and is based around a letter from an English 15 year old that was written 50 years ago and left at Juliet's house in Verona. It was hidden in a crack in the wall, and only found now by an American aspirant writer, Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), who replies to it. Needless to say, the 65 year old woman, Clare (Vanessa Redgrave), comes to Italy with her grandson Charlie (Chris Egan) in search of her love of 50 years ago, Lorenzo. There ensues a charming and very scenic road trip around Tuscany. Gael Garcia Bernal, one of my favourite actors, plays Sophie's fiancé, Victor.
Certainly not the deepest and most meaningful film I have ever seen, but I liked it.
