It’s hard not to be disappointed with the wasted potential with this premise. One would expect this level of writing from others, but not writers of this caliber. The jokes are so predictable, and this diminishes their effect. It aims for comedy and misses more than it hits. Weber, one can’t help but be disappointed with this movie’s writing. This could have been a funny and unique spin on an iconic story if done correctly.Ĭonsidering the two immensely talented writers on this project, Scott Neustadter and Michael H. To make matters more complicated, Rosaline is the cousin of Juliet, and she’s on a mission to foil their romance to get her boyfriend back. As the title suggests, this movie is told from the perspective of the titular Rosaline, Romeo’s jilted ex. This movie tells a familiar story but from a different perspective. It has a strong lead and accomplished writers on board, but the movie falls flat with an excess of mediocrity. Based on Rebecca Serle’s young adult novel When You Were Mine, Rosaline is a comedic retelling of one of the most famous love stories in history. In a world full of adaptations of Romeo & Juliet, director Karen Maine’s new movie aims to be something different.
