Romeo + Juliet

MY ONLY LOVE SPRUNG FROM MY ONLY HATE.

In this contemporary take on William Shakespeare's classic tragedy, the Montagues and Capulets have moved their ongoing feud to the sweltering suburb of Verona Beach, where Romeo and Juliet fall in love and secretly wed. Though the film is visually modern, the bard's dialogue remains.

  • Darwin Merritt
    Visually stunning but lacked a compelling storyline. The movie was more style than substance.
    Rating: 3

  • Eloise Archer
    A fun, light-hearted movie that's perfect for a weekend watch. Not too deep, but enjoyable.

    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.

    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.
