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.

    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.

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

    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.
