Summary
Four women known as "Juliet's Secretaries" answer these letters, and Sophie is invited to join them. When she finds a letter written 50 years ago that's gone unanswered, she responds. A few days later the woman who wrote the letter, Claire ([Vanessa Redgrave]), and her grandson Charlie (Christopher Egan), arrive in Verona, and Sophie joins them on a quest to find Claire's long-lost love, Lorenzo (Franco Nero, Redgrave's husband).
Logic aside, writers Jose Rivera and Tim Sullivan have a right to ask us to suspend disbelief, and the result is a bythe-books love story that's predictable and bland. Redgrave is endearing as Claire, but the last half-hour fizzles as we wait for the inevitable to transpire. As for [Amanda Seyfried] (Chloe, Dear John), who got lost in the hellishness of Pierce Brosnan screamsinging in Mamma Mia, this film proves there's some real talent behind the beauty. It'll be interesting to see where her career goes from here.See the full content of this document
