"The Love Letter" tells of a middle-aged book worm (Capshaw) who discovers a draft of a love letter bearing the simple salutation "Dearest" and assumes she's the intended recipient. The letter, left lying about, is rediscovered by others who make a similar assumption allowing the infectious prose to spawn romance among the populace of a quaint little New England seaside community. Sledged by about half the critics, "TLL's" somewhat sappy and contrived screenplay is offset by its quirkiness and middle-agedness. A so-so production, "TLL" will likely resonate most with middle-aged females and more mature audiences.
