Rosaline
This is a comedic retelling of Shakespeare’s classic Romero & Juliet” story, but from the point of view of Romeo’s jilted ex, Rosaline Capulet (Kaitlyn Dever). She was Romero’s first before he becomes smitten by Rosaline’s cousin Juliet. In a comedy of errors, Rosaline tries to distract her cousin & woo back her lover. This version employs more modern speech & attitudes for those who may be Shakespearean challenged. It’s a typical rom/com love story with a Romeo & Juliet gimmick. Minnie Driver & Bradley Whitfield are in the supporting cast. Look for a mid credit clip.
