The Love Letter transports the recipe from Hollywood to New England and turns it into the kind of flavorful clambake that defines summer escapist entertainment.

Surpasses your initial expectations, raises them a little, then just barely fails to meet most of them at last.

Although the movie's affection for its characters is refreshing, none of them stirs our passions.

The Love Letter is so slight, so insipid, that a viewer can scarcely find much therein to love or hate.

Thanks to a nicely written screenplay and intelligent direction, the soap stays reasonably bubbly and doesn't leave a sticky feeling on your skin.

In a no-role role, Mr. Selleck appears beefy and dull.

There's no chemistry between any of the stars, and there's a puzzling lack of energy.

A scattershot account of unexpected, confusing romantic love that spreads like a virus!
