    That's how classics should be modernized
    Rosaline is probably the best classic modernization that I've ever seen. Of course that the movie does have its issues, but it is generally very enjoyable. The movie is absurd, but it's aware of it and it doesn't take itself serious, which is what I personally loved the most about it. Kaitlyn Dever played her character in such a funny way while making fun of the situation but also respecting the original story.

    I would say this is a cool Sunday afternoon movie. Like, one of those movies you watch when you don't really know what to watch, but feel like having a laugh and cringing a bit.

    Disclaimer: if you want a classic Romeo and Juliet movie, this is not the movie for you, because this is really not the goal behind it.

    This was adorable
    I am starting to think that Hollywood cannot judge what should be on streaming and what should be in movie theaters. This was an old fashioned romantic comedy that would have been great in theaters.

    As many others have stated this is loosely based on Romeo and Juliet. But don't worry there will be no stupid Iambic pentameter.. Rosaline was Romeo's first girlfriend you see and she doesn't take kindly to being left for her younger cousin Juliet. So she schemes to break them up. Her scheming is funny provides a template for Rosaline to meet the love of her life. I laughed a lot and thought the romance was just the right mix of breezy and heartfelt.

    Check it out, you will find it enjoyable.
