I enjoyed it

Rating: Null/10 (10 February 1999)

This was definitely the best movie I have seen in years. Never before has a movie so nicely intertwined romance, drama, and comedy. The chemistry between Joseph Fiennes and Gwyneth Paltrow goes unmatched. There are very smart, funny lines and cute little inside jokes for those of us that know the story of "Romeo and Juliet" well. Ben Affleck has a small but hilarious role as a very theatrical hero, a leading man on all stages. Gwyneth does a fabulous job with her role as an aspiring actress in a time when that is not allowed, forcing her to dress as a male to get on stage. This leads to a few very funny scenes in the film. And Joseph Fiennes gives the darkest, most powerful portrayal of the bard. The two leads look good together and act well together. The movie had us laughing and crying. It was worth the price of the ticket..... twice.
