Rome and Juliet... Get Married is farce that both revels in and pokes fun at melodramatic love, sports obsession and dysfunctional families. If you're looking for a thoughtful Shakespearean tragedy, skip it; if you're looking for a laugh that isn't weighed down by American film conventions, it's worth a look.

"...Swinton is particularly stunning as one of the most fleshed out 'villains' in movie history; in one particularly moving scene her cool, calculating veneer is replaced by a sweating, pony-tailed woman bobbing up and down with nervous tics as she attempts to ask a thug to go to extreme and murderous lengths to sort out U-North's mess but can't quite say it"
