SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
jayrwilde I have to say that this movie is a promising movie in Asian cinema about homosexuality. it lays out the hardships on being a homosexual in a society that doesn't understand you. Great acting too. i really enjoyed the chemistry between main characters.I hope to see more of these movies in the future.
aupz23 I just got finished watching this movie and I must say that I was very impressed! I also enjoyed the music, especially the rock song playing during the end credits. I am definitely going to buy the soundtrack. I thought that the 2 lead actresses were very beautiful and did a good job at portraying Rome & Juliet. The guy was portrayed Juliet's finance (Marc) was very handsome. I also wanted to slap Marc's mother b/c she seemed like such a snob being rude to her cook and trying to be picky about Juliet's teaching uniform. The 2 scenes in the poetry venue was really nice, along with the talented musicians really playing good music with the guest poets. I thought that the 2nd scene where Rome is coming out in front of the poet venue guests about her real true feelings for Juliet and embracing each other right then and there in front of the guests at the poet venue. The climax made me want to cry because after all that Juliet has been through, you begin to cheer for Rome and Juliet to be together.
a666333 What I see in this movie is some good acting efforts thrown at what is amounts to a piece of recent film formula. I won't give the long list of other films that are essentially the same but there is nothing original here. Within 10 minutes of the start you could see where the conflict points would be and it was just a matter of guessing which off-the-shelf scandals/life crises would be injected in to drive the story to an artificial level of greater suspense. In the end, they used a bunch of those like a scattergun. At that point, I lost any respect I might have had for the film-makers. With some more effective writing or more character depth, they wouldn't have had to resort to such a soap-opera style approach.In fact, there is only one moment of genuine uncertainty and that is whether one or both of the protagonists would take the plunge of dedication to their new found love. The movie builds to that point and hinges on it. Once it is resolved, there is really nothing left to do except fire the above mentioned scatter-gun to sustain things for a while.I can see that many people are in love with this movie. From the ratings to this point, you would think this is some kind of a classic. I think that people fell for the two attractive and effective actresses. The "jealousy" scene is quite cute. There is also some decent work from some supporting cast members but even those are strapped into very predictable and stereotyped roles with equally old hat dialogue. I cannot imagine that the directing, production and plot are enthralling.
countymd This movie is surprisingly good. The story is a bit long and the ending is a bit short. But overall, it is a great movie. The lead actresses have a very good chemistry together, which makes it very believable. It describes how difficult it is for them to accept themselves and eventually for others to accept them. Sometimes it is not easy to accept your true self but both of them come to an understanding to accept themselves for who they are in order to pursue happiness in life. They both start off as very good friends and eventually fall in love with each other. The music is a bit lacking but I would still highly recommend this movie to anyone.
