Featured review
Love and the Pen Pals
Love, American Style wasn't high art. In fact, it could be downright silly. However, there were a few sequences that were gems, and this is one of them.
Diane Keaton and Monte Markham play childhood pen pals who meet as adults eighteen years after they began writing letters to each other. There's only one plot hole. Obviously, it was necessary to the story for both characters to not know what the other looks like before meeting; however, it's unlikely that the pen pals wouldn't have exchanged photos at some point during those eighteen years. Other than that, it's a sweet, beautifully written, beautifully acted eleven-minute sequence.
