Didn't deserve the academy award for best picture...

Rating: 6/10 (20 August 1999)

a bit funny...a bit romantic, but didn't deserve the academy award for the best picture... History buffs would hiss at this softened up, dumb insult to what could be a real life person or a fake (for example, Shakey didn't make up that Romeo and Juliet story, he stole it from a much older one.) otherwise, it's a witty, well written story that is one of the best films this year.
