Romeo and Juliet Get Married

Shakespeare's tragic love story is given a sweetly romantic raucously fresh and inventive retelling by Bruno Barreto. Ophthalmologist Romeo is a passionately obsessed fan of the Corinthians football team and the same goes for his 21-year-old son and his feisty grandmother. While across town the lovely Juliet lives with her Italian-Brazilian family and whose father is an equally rabid fan and president of the fan club of Palmeiras the Corinthians' century-old arch rivals. Romeo and Juliet meet and fall in love. Romeo desperate to get in good graces with his future father-in-law decides to hide his affections for his team and fake a love for Palmeiras.System Requirements:Running Time: 90 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA/LOVE & ROMANCE UPC: 880215104997 Manufacturer No: LIF-DV1049
Customer Review: If you loved My Big Fat Greek Wedding, you'll LOVE this film
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."
Customer Review: One Wedding You Don't Want To Miss!
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.

Of course the possibilities are endless but the downright answer to the question, which seems more realistic than living in fantasy land, is that she will never be popular if she was born poor. Remember that money these days buys everything except of course simple pleasures like sleep, peace and insight on things that are far valuable than fame, cars and late-night parties.

If it werent for her money, she could have been another insignificant person lurking around unnoticed but probably her life could have been more meaningful. She's a spoiled brat and everybody believes that, except maybe some young American girls who see her as an icon worth their adoration. She doesnt have a regard for other people. She wasnt able to finish high school and her popularity is focused on all the wrong sides. In short, if it werent for her money, she could have not even made it to Hollywood or anywhere near it because lets face it she has no talent, she's not the most beautiful person the world has seen and she's not blessed with a great body that teases all top models in the world.

Her popularity was only created by her highly-paid publicists plus her own talent on getting everybody's attention, regardless if she is being scrutinized or being loved.

She could never be popular if she were poor. Like all of us who, at one point of our lives, have dreamt to become famous or at least have the money that she was gifted with. And like all of us, it would take colossal effort before we can actually gain other people's regard. She, however, got all of these hassle free, without the slightest effort.

How many of us have to break our necks in work just to get through a day? How many of us have been toiling for ages just to create a better life than what we have? And how many of us have to develop ourselves into the ultimate working machines just to be noticed by the world.

We work so hard just to get promoted in our jobs. Sometimes, we spend even our unpaid hours for the sake of producing plausible accomplishments to advance our careers. Some people in other parts of the world work just to get by a lunch with the hanging doom of not eating for the next supper. And there are ordinary sons and daughters who turn themselves into modern age slaves just to help their parents with the finances.

There are countless faces in Hollywood who have to start writing hundreds of screenplays before they ever get the chance to be recognized, some even have to endure a lifelong failure to become a writer in a Hollywood film. And there are hundreds of other starlets who have got all the talents, the looks and the right attitude but never had the breaks. But Paris Hilton is a rare species. She no longer needs to undergo all the pains of hard work and she no longer have to wait for the break to come.

She can buy her own way into Hollywood and she could make her own break grounding chances, even if it means that she has to expose herself in Hollywood without a single strand of dignity on her back. And yet, with all her privileges, she seems to have forgotten how it means to become a human. Understandably, she will never understand the life of the poor and hardworking people but if she is lucky, she may have a glimpse of some painful realities that will spank her right on her face. And yet, even her personal realizations seem like a farfetched hope for all those concerned.

If she were born like most of us, little people as the elites call us, she may not have even get a peek at a Hollywood studio. All she has to settle with is the chance to at least see her favorite stars on movies and television and occasionally on lives shows. But unless she works really hard, to the point that she is all but spent because of labor, she may never have the chance to become the person she is now.

She is Paris Hilton because she has money. And this same money makes her famous. Take her fortune away then she's just another person trying to live a daily life in simplicity but with greater meaning.

Brand new item.

When turning forty it seemed that I was assaulted by the phrase "forty is the new twenty." It was especially targeted at women since advertisers seem to assume that we are more susceptible to these messages than men. I first heard this proclamation when Demi Moore turned 40 and pictures of her in a bikini were on all the newsstands. Like many women in their mid-thirties, I hit the gym a little harder hoping to have a body like Demi when we turned 40.

Years later, we had to face everything we knew to be true about time and gravity. We women were still all for staying in shape, but we had to acknowledge the reality of trying to look twenty at forty. It is at best, overly optimistic, and at worst, borderline neurotic.

Around this time women were given a new outlook on this pitch of forty being the new twenty when Demi and the much younger Ashton Kutcher became an item. Maybe we don't need to look twenty we all thought, maybe we can just act twenty. This brief fantasy didn't feel right either. For most of us there are too many responsibilities at forty that don't allow us to act like we're twenty. Although women with reliable baby sitters did get a few Saturday nights of acting twenty.

So if we didn't want to look or act twenty, we needed to ask ourselves "What is so great about twenty that anyone would want to recreate it at forty?" Aside from looking good in those skinny jeans that have made an unfortunate comeback, most women I know couldn't think of anything. When we were twenty we worried about what nearly everyone thought about us. By age forty our list of people whose opinions we cared about was very small, and filled only with people that would say kind things about us.

Somewhere along the line, Demi Moore also seemed to find that there is a freedom to being in your forties that you don't have in your twenties. Photos of her in glamorous clothes at Hollywood hot spots were replaced with photos of her in a ball cap driving her kids to soccer games. Of course this new look meant that she was photographed a lot less, but I guess she crossed the paparazzi of her list of people to impress about the same time we crossed off the women who go to gym wearing make-up and designer work-out clothes.

So after quite a bit of reflecting, I feel comfortable saying that women don't want forty to be the new twenty. We wouldn't mind a few less wrinkles and other trivial perks that come with being twenty, but we wouldn't trade the lessons and the joys that graced us during the years between twenty and forty. I'd like to think that we are wiser at forty than we were at twenty. The true test is if we have learned to enjoy whatever age we happen to be and not waste a moment trying to go backwards.
