Love Will Find a Way: Letters to Juliet

Today, I raided my older brother's box of DVDs. (There are literally HUNDREDS. Who has time to watch these? Seriously?) I grabbed a stack of five or six and headed upstairs. Running into my father, I asked if he wanted to watch one with me and he said sure. I let him pick. (The three or four slasher, horror, blood blood blood movies were instantly gone.) Among the pile was a movie that I had been wanting to see for a long time, called Letters to Juliet. Picking this one, we both sat down, and watched to whole movie together.

By the end, I was in tears.

This was a beyond beautiful, lovely, and funny movie. It pulled at my heart strings and the ends of my smile the whole adventure. Set in Italy, it revolves around an American girl, engaged and dreaming to be a journalist, who comes to the famed city of Verona. There, she finds a wall where people write letters to Juliet, for advice and help. Soon after she meets a group of women who call themselves the "Secretaries of Juliet." They manage the wall, take all the letters, and write back. Intrigued, Sophie helps the next day, collecting letters, and finds one that is over FIFTY years old. She decides she has to write back, and an adventure ensues to find a long lost lover.
