Letters to Juliet is a sufficient romantic comedy complete with the prerequisites sans vapidity:
- Dashing male interest (Christopher Egan)who is misunderstood as a jerk, but is actually a socially-aware and kind-hearted sap
- Oddly-beautiful single girl (Amanda Seyfried) who has it all, but is dissatisfied with career thereby causing her to reconsider her young life's work
- Loser boyfriend who under appreciates said single girl (played by Gael Garcia Bernal)
- Astute mentor (Vanessa Redgrave) who is able to dispense wise words over a glass of wine while mentally calculating how to hook up her single girl pal with a charming suitor
- a soul-searching journey (across Italy) on behalf of someone else (see mentor) but ultimately reaping rewards alongside said person (see oddly-beautiful single girl)
- 'warm glow'
- one 'look up at the stars at night and ponder' sequence
- mild innuendo
- easy physical comedy
- soft scoring
