content: I have nothing against modern adaptations of classics, but it is painfully obvious that the cast in R+J had no idea what they were saying, let alone what the story was actually about. Those who praise the film forget that the story itself is a masterpiece, and it's almost impossible to destroy the beauty of it. R+J comes close, though; bad acting and dizzying foolishness at its worst. Stick with the Olivia Hussey version.
