Romeo + Juliet

Oh...why bother.......I hated this film and I'm not quite sure why but it might have had something to do with my daughter and her friends watching it over and over and over and over to ooohhhh and aaaahhhhh at Leonardo DiCaprio. To his credit, DiCaprio actually pulls Romeo off just fine and Claire Danes is quite effective as Juliet....but when you have John Leguizamo prancing about as Tybalt...well...you begin to lose me. For the money, director Baz Luhrmann, who would go on to direct MOULIN ROUGE!, does infuse some wonderful visuals here and I'm happy to see kids getting their Shakespeare anyway they can but...well..this one just didn't do it for me.
