You're left wishing you'd never opened this letter.

Witty!

Lies dormant as a movie.

An enjoyable enough way to spend an hour and a half, but doesn't end up having much to offer in the way of substance.

Director Peter Chan has a hard time getting beneath the gooey surface of this fanciful story.

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

The film's construction is clumsy and the sentiments a little corny.

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

The chemistry between the age-challenged lovers is exceptionally sweet, and crucial to the success of the project.

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