A must see for all hopeless romantics (and those who like Heath Ledger).

Rating: 10/10 (14 April 1999)

Yes, Heath Ledger is gorgeous, but that's not the best part of this movie. It's a great movie because it fits Shakespeare's plot line perfectly while still relating to modern day teens. There are a few Shakespearean allusions, but not too many to cloud it up, and the cast has a wonderful chemistry that you can see on screen. Yes, the ending is predictable, but hopeless romantics will love what's in between the start and finish (especially when Heath serenades Julia).
All in all this is one of those feel good movies that makes you forget all your troubles the second it comes on screen.
