Review of Private Romeo (2011) by Neville K — 19 May 2012

Starting out, I was a little confused as to the text being a "Romeo & Juliet" take off, but soon got caught up in the storyline and the romance and the relationships of all the characters.

Poor reviews must come from those who are not in tune with Indie type productions, as to me this was most professional and very satisfying for the overall experience. I had no trouble following the dialogue and found it quite refreshing as the actors delivery seemed "right-on", and the familiar passages that we have been reading and listening to for many years, came to life in a most entertaining Movie.

My congrads to Alan Brown, it takes a lot of guts to stick it out that far, Gay and Shakespeare both, wow!! A talented group of actors, especially Seth Numrich as Romeo, Matt Doyle (fine set of pipes at the end credits) as Juliet, and Hale Appleman as Mercutio.

I was disappointed in the reviews, don't let them keep you from this production, if for nothing else, to see an unusual twist to Shakespeare and draw your own conclusion, it won't disappoint. 5 stars, 05202012.
