A comedic retelling of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” told from the point of view of Romeo’s jilted ex, Rosaline, the woman Romeo first claims to love before he falls for Juliet.
Pam says:
Shakespeare himself would be laughing and proud of this refreshing iteration of the classic “Romeo and Juliet” reimagined as “Romeo and Rosaline” with a few twists and turns.
The film stars Kaitlyn Dever as Rosaline Capulet, the daughter of Adrian (Bradley Whitford), as she secretly sees Romeo Montague (Kyle Allen) on that familiar bedroom balcony; a forbidden love as the two families continue to feud.
The star-crossed lovers attempt to find a way to marry and run off into the sunset to live in their cabin in the woods, but Dad has a different goal: Rosaline is to marry a man of his choosing. As luck would have it, she misses her opportunity to be with Romeo, and this is when he meets — you guessed it— Juliet.
