Amazon.co.uk Review
Its ads portrayed The Love Letter as a wacky farce, while critics largely ignored it, presuming it to be a vanity project from Kate Capshaw (better known as Mrs. Steven Spielberg). But The Love Letter is neither; on the contrary, it's a low-key but surprisingly rich and touching film about love, illusions, and regret. Helen (Capshaw), a bookseller in a small seashore town, discovers an unsigned love letter that's fallen into the cushions of a couch in her store. The letter doesn't say who it's for, but Helen assumes it's for her and starts wondering who sent it. One would expect this to lead to a whirling comedy of mistaken identities, but after some amusing daydream moments, the movie follows its story with subtlety and nuance. The characters behave according to their own needs and desires, rather than the demands of standard Hollywood goofiness. The performances--from a cast including Tom Selleck, Tom Everett Scott, Ellen DeGeneres, newcomer Julianne Nicholson, and others--are uniformly unforced and natural. Viewers weary of the hyped-up, absurd emotional climaxes of most so-called romantic comedies will find a respite here. The Love Letter is a genuinely charming film. --Bret Fetzer, Amazon.com

Mcelwee "Caroline McElwee" (UK) - See all my reviews       This review is from: The Love Letter [1999] (VHS Tape) This film is based on the novel of the same name by Cathleen Schine. It is rare to be able to say that in this instance, by making a few minor changes, the director actually improves on an already enjoyable original work. The story of 40-something Helen who runs a book shop in a small seaside town. Whilst sitting to go through her mail she finds tucked down the back of the battered sofa a love letter. The plot hinges on the fact that during the course of the film, a number of people come upon this beautiful love letter and believe it is written to them, and how it changes their life. To say more would be to spoil this lovely mellow film. Expertly pitched performances from Kate Capshaw, Ellen DeGeneres, Tom Selleck, Blythe Danner and others - which keep the piece tender without falling into sentimentality. Enjoy.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

I thought it was hysterical. I laughed out loud all the way through, and am so pleased that I can find a copy to buy. I am confused and bewildered by the critics, who rated this movie unjustifiably badly. I think it’s one of his best yet!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

I watched it with mum and brother and it was "lough out loud" all around. I note that some critics in the USA panned it, I suppose Allen is now much older and the delivery is not quite as sharp as when he was making the likes of Manhattan Murder Mistery which is also in my mind one of his funniest, but it nevertheless belongs to the same genre of combined witty dialogue as well as slapstick comedy. I'm glad I bought this DVD and my worries about it were dispelled. It will a be a real bonus to any collection of Allen DVDs.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
