Some Different Takes on the Romeo and Crazy Juliet Teen Movie
“crazy/beautiful” is the first teen romance I’ve seen, since, well, since the last Kirsten Dunst movie. I used to go to a lot of teen flicks, but they were getting so bad even I couldn’t stoop to ogle that much.The writers clearly saw “Mad Love” and said “We can do better than that.” And they do. They follow a very similar story line and add a non-stereotypical Latino twist for a different take on Romeo and Crazy Juliet.
Bruce Davison also helps as a believable father, even if the step-mother is the usual Yuppie trophy wife.
While the ending isn’t entirely believable, it is satisfying for a movie.
The constant music selections, including several that the characters sing along with, are not the usual Top 40, with several by groups I hadn’t even heard of; though I was 100% sure I heard David Gray in one scene but his song wasn’t listed in the credits.
