Looking for the right kind of weird...sweet Verona, romantic comedy.
27 September 2022
There was a lot of comedy in this romantic comedy about a grade school teacher who has planned and waited her whole life to visit Verona...home to her beloved Juliet, for which she finally has the tickets. She has a laminated trip planned and scheduled for her and her boyfriend Brandon when he freaks out and breaks up with her. Julie ends up going on her trip alone...which starts as one disaster after another. She has a screaming kid kicking her seat on the flight, they loose her luggage, her Uber driver is Uberto...and the Villa she booked for the week is double booked to an unrelenting Brit named Charlie!

It's a rough start to her vacation. As there are no other accommodations due to an annual conference the two reluctant roommates agree to share their accommodations...then Julie with the help of one of her fellow teachers comes up with the idea to drive Charlie out of the Villa. This sets up a fun mutually agreed upon war of the roses like contest between the two. This was some of the best scenes in the film. I appreciated Charlie's hand shake and toast.

Beautiful Verona scenery, funny quips, and a slow build romance, definitely worth a watch if you are a romantic.

I really enjoyed both of the romantic leads...but particularly Tom Hopper who played Charlie. His dry wit was delivered flawlessly.

My one complaint is Julie's wardrobe...it could be better, although I loved the gift shop t-shirt and sweatshirt.
