Rating: Summary: WASTED EFFORT Review: THis is a embarassing effort by Dream Works studios. A total bomb. The movie doesn't gives what promises in the cover: a good comedy. Instead, the movie is a shameful mixture of cheap drama with bad acting all over the place. I guess there are some two funny moments at maximum in the movie. Really bad history, badly executed.
Rating: Summary: Enchanting Review: This is a fun film. It has heart and charm, but oh, Capshaw works her magic here. I would buy this film for no other reason than to watch Capshaw's performance--it was incredible acting.

Rating: Summary: A grate movie Review: This movie is funny and romantic with some suprises along the way.I say this is a must see. This is a chick flick but I am sure some guys would like it to. This is a grate date movie.
Rating: Summary: Love Letter Review: This movie is good to see once and maybe the second time two years later. It's the type that you just don't know what to think of when you're done watching. The best thing about this movie is the actual Love Letter. "when i peel an orange, when i drive my car...." The sheer normalness of everday experiences expressed through the letter endear it to the reader (or listener).
Rating: Summary: Kate Capshaw & Tom Selleck At Their Best Review: This movie was cute, sweet, funny, lite, and well paced. Be forwarned that there are lesbian characters who talk about their fulfillment in lesbianism. The writer of "The Love Letter" is Maria Maggenti. Her previous effort, "The Incredibly True Adventure of Two Girls in Love (1995)", was a lesbian love story. The Lesbian sub-plot aside, the whole ensemble did a good job, with Capshaw being the best; although a fling between this 40-something and an 18 yr old boy is a bit of a stretch.
Rating: Summary: Boring, Silly and not romantic at all! Review: What a boring movie. The cast and story line interested me enough to watch it. While Kate Capshaw looked great, her character was boring, self centered and generally cranky and non-caring. Who would want to be in love with that? The ending is just plain dumb. Blythe Danner is not in the movie enough to even be a sub-plot let alone a main character. Snore......Also, I watched this with my pre-teen daughter and was sad to hear the "f-word" on more than one occasion in a PG-13 rating. Don't bother....
Rating: Summary: A nice sleeper Review: What happens when people stumble across a nameless love letter? Given the fact that we all greatly desire love, we assume it was written to us. This is the premise of the movie that makes for an entertaining romp through a sleepy New England town. Cate Capshaw does a nice job as the towns most sought after single female who has chosen to ward off any of cupids arrows for fear of feeling its bittersweet sting. However, a tenderly written love letter, that appears mysteriously, does a wonderful job of stirring up those sweet longings for desire and romance. For each of the characters who inadvertently stumbes across this same letter, that thrilling sense of passion ignites their dreams as well. Played out something like a Shakesperian play, all kinds of mayhem ensues until the surprising truth is revealed at the end of this charming little film.
Rating: Summary: Blech! Review: When this movie was over, I couldn't believe I'd wasted two hours of my life on it. It might have been almost watchable if it had starred, say, Meg Ryan, whose sometimes irritating cuteness might have lightened up the heroine's basically dour and unpleasant personality. Instead we're sentenced to two hours of the dreadful Kate Capshaw. It's not necessarily that she's a bad actress; she just seems like an awful person. Ellen DeGeneres isn't much more fun to watch. And the solution to the mystery of the love letter is not merely ridiculous; it's insultingly stupid. Tom Selleck, as always, lights up the screen (too bad he's only on it for about 15 minutes), and the other supporting players are fine as well. And the scenes of New England are pretty. Maybe an enterprising fan will find a way to digitally insert them into a better movie.
