Overview

• Directed by Timothy Scott Bogart, the film reimagines 'Romeo and Juliet' as a pop musical with original songs by Evan 'Kidd' Bogart and Justin Gray.
• Critics have panned the movie for its unfocused execution, lack of chemistry between leads, and uninspired pop soundtrack.
• The adaptation departs significantly from Shakespeare’s original, omitting key scenes and altering the story’s tragic ending.
• Clara Rugaard and Jamie Ward star as Juliet and Romeo, supported by a cast including Rebel Wilson, Rupert Graves, and Sir Derek Jacobi.
• Set in a Renaissance-mall Verona, the film has been described as a generic, poorly executed attempt at modernizing the Bard’s tragedy.
