For loyalists of the original Shakespeare drama, this is pure blasphemous fun. And, if you are a fan of Anna Kendrick's early snarky work, Rosaline will win you over early and keep you watching. This modern re-telling of Romeo and Juliet doesn't waste time trying to speak in the vernacular of Shakespeare, which is a relief. Instead, it focuses on a classic theme: the guilded caged princess who must marry against her wishes. But this caged bird is snarky-- and yet, she must grow as a person (and character) to overcome some of her jaded disposition in order to find her one true love. This movie isn't a classic and won't win any awards, but it is totally watchable and has a satisfying conclusion.
