Funnier then hell

Rating: 10/10 (6 December 2006)

A little while ago, I saw this film during a class where we previously read the play. The play was satisfactory, meaning I understood it and did not hate it. After reading the play, we saw the movie. I loved it. I could not stop laughing. It was just so corny beyond belief. Parts that were not supposed to be humorous, were. For example, the first scene in the gas station was absolutely hilarious with them jumping around shooting.
I thought that the old English applied to the modern stuff was not realistic or necessary, but I thought it was funnier then hell. It was hilarious how they all spoke in such ridiculous wordings as they preformed these actions.
For those who hated this film, I just have to say that you cannot take these things really seriously. The play is outdated now, and will be in the future. Back then, it was great! In addition, they cannot change the words, because then it wouldn't be true to the play. So, just take this with a grain of salt.
I loved when Romeo killed Tybalt. That was so corny and ridiculous I fell on the floor laughing. When the rain cloud burst over head, when he rammed his car into Tybalt's car, it was so hilarious.
I have nothing but good memories about this film.
WARNING: If you expect a scene for scene regurgitation, then this is not for you. I seriously recommend reading this play before hand, unless it will be so confusing. Oh, and I hated the original film. I couldn't understand it and fell asleep after the first part with the prince.
