I rented this movie. Thank God. I mainly rented it to see Elijah Wood's performance. I wasn't disappionted in his character. Christina Ricci creeped me out. She was like a pycho maniac. The rest of the cast was rather weak in my opinion. I came away from this movie feeling like I would never be happy again. Spend your money on better films like Deep Impact, Deep Blue Sea, Forever Young, LOTR: TFOTR, LOTR: TTT.

I borrowed this tape from my local library to compare it and the Baz version. And I have to say this one wins hands down. I had to read Romeo and Juliet in eighth grade. And I really liked it then. But I like it even better now. Whiting and Hussey made an awesome Romeo and Juliet. This version draws you in until you actually feel like your there in Verona. It got to the point where I was laughing, crying, and shouting at the T.V. Especially when Romeo passed the friar carrying the letter. When I'll not let any more of the beans spill. So here's my recomendation. Rent, Borrow or Buy this version and you will not regret it. It's a MUST see.
