If you loved My Big Fat Greek Wedding, you'll LOVE this film February 15, 2008
I think Gary Dretzka of Movie City News (moviecitynews.com) said it best. "Studio types rarely seek my opinions on anything, unless it involves finding the men's room after a screening. Having just finished watched this thoroughly charming Brazilian import, however, I know one thing for certain: someone who makes a lot of money, somewhere, blew it. With a bit of help from the marketing gods, Bruno Barreto's charming adaptation of the Bard's most accessible tragedy might have captured a healthy slice of the same audiences that embraced Bend It Like Beckham, Shakespeare in Love and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Romeo and Juliet Get Married is just that irresistible. Here, the feuding families are rabid fans of rival teams in Brazil's club-soccer league. Juliet's father is a lawyer and chairman of Sao Paolo's real-life Palmeiras, and he named his daughter after two of the team's legendary players. A fine player, herself, the lanky brunette falls for the chief cheerleader of Palmeiras' arch-rivals, Corinthians. Despite not being able to maintain an erection in the vicinity of the Palmeiras banner in Juliet's bedroom, Romeo's infatuation demands that he convince her father he is a diehard fan. In his stubborn chauvinism and loud devotion to his team, Romeo's future father-in-law recalls restaurateur Gus Portokalos in Nia Vardalos' sleeper hit, My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Anyone who's read the Shakespeare tragedy even once could guess what happens next, minus the swordplay and vials of poison. (Juliet's dad and Romeo's grandmother do shed some tears, however.) Like so many other Brazilian comedies - Barreto also gave us Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands - Romeo and Juliet Get Married is sly, sexy and broad enough to appeal to those with only a passing interest in soccer. There's commentary, brief interviews, a music video and a making-of featurette."

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.
