I've read Romeo and Juliet for class and the time this came out was after I had done the class I had learned it from. It helps quite a bit in my opinion. And while I feel this wasn't the best film of '98 it was a very fine film. The acting is good as is the directing and story telling. Yeah, it's a chick flick but it's a good chick flick. One without an "All-men-are-satan" message and an ending that is good without being super-cheesy. See this film on a date.
