Redgrave shimmers like one of Tuscany's magnificent cypress trees as an Englishwoman searching for Lorenzo (Nero). - 75
ReelViews
It is sweet and sentimental and embraces the fantasy (although it would have worked better without the treacly pop songs on the soundtrack). - 67
Austin Chronicle
Is Gary Winick atoning for his sins? If “Bride Wars” was an acid spill -- and that’s putting it generously -- then Letters to Juliet is like the safety shower in your high school chemistry class, delivering an unsubtle blast of sanitized sentimentality. - 60
Arizona Republic
Put this title on your Netflix queue in the first place. Just give your own Mr. Right a break and don't waste your date-night dollars on the big screen. - 50
Boxoffice Magazine
This movie believes that true love isn't supposed to be hard. A fine ideal, but it feels as flat as a pizza. - 50
Chicago Reader
Vanessa Redgrave bails out this mushy Italian-postcard romance. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Bland, predictable picture, whose sole assets are a cute premise, the Italian countryside and the dignity Vanessa Redgrave brings to a part that, on the page, is quite beneath her. - 40
