Okay, but not one of my favorites, 17 March 2000
Author: Coolguy-7 from USA

I saw this movie as a freshman in high school after we had read the play in English class. I didn't mind it, nor did any of my fellow students. There was a scene where Juliet streaks through the castle I believe, but my "first amendment violating" English teacher fast forwarded through that part. (We're high schoolers for gosh sakes! We can handle the nudity) This is a pretty good, but not great adaptation of Shakespeare's famous play.
