This is an extremely under-rated masterpiece. It is because of this movie I wanted to learn more about Shakespeare and Romeo & Juliet. It's funny and incredibly romantic.Romeo (Josh Jackson) instead of being sad, dark, and frankly depressing; he is a witty, sweet, HOT, hokey player. Also Juliet (Margo Finley)is a cute also sweet figure skater.I completely fell in love with this movie ever since I first saw it. And girls who have even only heard of Josh Jackson, this movie will make you want to marry him and have 1000 of his babys.I pray that this comes on again so those who have not had the honor of seeing this classic will and love it to no end. Yes, this is definatly Shakespeare at his best.
Okey so this movie isn't very convincing. The snow is fake and you know from the start that it's gonna be a happy ending. But that is what I like about it! It is just like a Disney movie in a way, you know that things might get tough in the middle but they always solve the problems in the end. I think it is.. cute! And the fake snow and the scenery is a very important part of that. And what really makes my heart melt is the cute duet by Tanya Hacheroff and Cameron Grant they play when Ronnie & Julie are sooo in love..And sure I can see why men who need action and shooting in all movies doesnt like it but I know that I will watch this movie the day before x-mas year after year after year!
I give this movie a 10. Unfortunately, I lost my last post so this will have to do. It has a great script, and is very well acted. Joshua Jackson is awesome (he makes the film) as is his chemistry w/ Margot Finley. All the actors are very good. The dialogue is believable as are the characters. It's a great update of Romeo and Juliet, set in High School. The skating aspect ties it together well (RECOMENDED FOR hockey players/figure skaters). You can't help but love this sweet, romantic movie- it's not too sappy. (As if you need more convincing, JOSH JACKSON IS SOOOOO HOT!!!) I recommend this to anyone, you can see it on Showtime in the winter. It's sure to make you smile!
This movie was alright. They could have made it much better by making it a comedy like all the other Shakespeare stories which have been made into high school based comedies. The ending was also disappointing, there was no real moral to the story.
