Bruno Barreto gives Shakespeare's classic love story a raucously fresh retelling by setting it in the crazed world of passionate soccer fans. Ophthalmologist Romeo, his 21-year-old son and feisty grandmother are obsessed with Corinthians football team. When Romeo falls for Juliet the lovely daughter of the arch rival Parmeiras fan club president, he fakes a love for the Palmeiras to impress his future father-in-law. The ruse comes to a head when Romeo's true loyalties are revealed, triggering a series of frantic and hilarious twists that threaten the best laid wedding plans of the star crossed lovers.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Wedding You Don't Want To Miss!, January 11, 2008

This review is from: Romeo And Juliet Get Married (DVD)

I really enjoyed this film. It is directed by the renowned filmmaker, Bruno Barreto, who is best known for his classic "Dona Flor And Her Two Husbands," as well as "Four Days In September." R&J is much closer to the farcical tone of Dona Flor. Using crazed sports loyalties as the source of conflict between the two rival families is a brilliant touch. Doing so keeps things light and fast paced with many laugh out loud moments. The acting is incredible, with Luana Piovani, as Juliet, the real knock out. I recommend this film to anyone who wants to laugh at the foibles of love and the absurdity of sports obsessions.

A romantic comedy from Brazil that is about a man who has to pretend he is a fan of his rival soccer team to win over a woman's family. Great movie with some hilarious parts. Even if you don't understand Portuguese, sometimes you forget you're reading subtitles. It's that good. I wish there were more Brazilian/Portuguese movies like this available in the US.

I'm not a fan of all comedies, but this is one of the best I've seen. A very clever and liberal take on the almost always repetitive theme of Romeo and Juliet. It has laughs, drama and intelligence. Plus, great characters. If you learn a little about Brazilian football fever and passion, you'll understand it and be pleased even more.
