Rosalina

It was different from that what I've seen in the last few months, first I didn't know what I can expect from a movie like this. With the short playing time of 90 minutes, I didn't expect that much story and it was the exact amount of story for the time. No useless stretched story and a clear endpoint. Overall was the story something else, it was modern and fresh but the choice of music was a little bit too modern in my opinion. Another point of my criticism is that acting. I love Kaitlyn Dever and enjoyed her performance in Dopesick. In that movie, she wasn't bad but for me, she felt a little bit misplaced in the role. It didn't fit that well in my opinion. But overall a solid movie you can watch if you need something refreshing.

The movie was funny and somehow cute, but unfortunately the scenario was so flat and predictable, the writers should have make it a bit complicated and add some twists instead of inserting some bad jokes to the boring scenes. There are not much to watch really, but the budget of the movie seems high; the decoration and furniture along with the other stuff like customs looked not cheap,some scenes were like a piece of art. The conservative clothing was suitable for children viewing, but the kisses were too many.

The main character was cute and pretty in this movie, her performance was very good and likable. But the story itself needs some improvements.

Every kid who has to read Romeo and Juliet will enjoy this. It has everything a teenage girl needs...a spunky heroine, a very (very!) cute leading man and a Taylor Swift song over the closing credits.

Romeo bears a bit of a resemblence to the late Heath Ledger. The wonderful Bradley Whitford and Minnie Driver shine in small but pivotal roles and while the plot is predictable, there are enough small twists and turns to make it fun.

As a standalone for younger kids, it will be fine. If you introduce them to the actual story of Romeo and Juliet first, they will get more out of it. One well-deserved profanity and very little violence.

Hulu did well with this one.

A lite affair which is loaded with sheer cuteness. The leads are adequate as actors. It's a nice twist on a old tale. The use of modern day colloquial dialog is a nice touch. Nice pacing. Flows really well. Story doesn't drag for a minute. Not a theater release worthy, so having this go straight to HULU is actually the best place to play this film. A nice premise which is managed as well as it could. Turn off your brain and enjoy. Plus Shooter McGavin is in this film. How could you possibly go wrong? 😆 😆 😆 😆.

Watch this on a nice, rainy fall day and you will be glad you did. Not a 10 out of 10 but it's worth watching.

The last two performances by Kaitlyn Dever I've seen were in "Unbelievable" (about a teenager's rape that almost nobody seems to believe) and "Dopesick" (about a tragic opioid-fueled death), so my guess is that Miss Dever wanted to lighten things up with a fun, goofy comedy. It turns out, she's good at that too! This movie is loosely (and I do mean loosely) based on Will Shakespeare's iconic tale of the star-crossed lovers, with Dever playing Romeo's ex-girlfriend, Rosaline, whom he totally forgets about when Isabela Merced's Juliet enters the picture. With some equally fun support from Bradley Whitford, as Rosaline's dad, and Minnie Driver as her quick witted nurse, Janet, this movie moves along its predictable path with a fair amount of good humor. I am giving this an extra star because Kaitlin Dever has been (rightly) touted as a future superstar since 2013, and her relatively low-key success continues nine years later. Even in trivial films.
