'Juliet & Romeo' Review: Shakespeare With an Enjoyable Musical Twist

The opening prologue to Shakespeare's classic tragic romance spurs a decidedly different take in Juliet & Romeo, a pop-fueled musical adaptation that's sure to have tweens and adolescents swooning. The film sings and dances up a storm, as an all-star supporting cast shepherds our star-crossed lovers to their fate. The vivacious production bursts with color and diversity, a nod to its young adult target audience. This isn't meant to be stuffy English literature, so you can forgive minor narrative lapses while grooving along to a better-than-expected soundtrack.
