My Take on the FilmWhat a fun take on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
tale. Being a theatre major in college I came to truly appreciate the writing of Shakespeare and his plays. What I loved about this DVD was that it brought a Shakespearean play to life for young audiences in a way that they could understand. There even was a cameo performance of a Shakespearean statue that speaks to the main character in the story itself. I was able to spend some time talking to my eldest after the movie about the original plays and I even read her some of the original play. She had a hard time with the play, especially with the difference in language, but she loved this DVD!

With a fun plot and a love story that transcends family rivalry, this DVD provides amazing artwork, humorous lines, and great music and provides for an overall great family movie night. If you have yet to see this, you will not be disappointed!
