One of the best things about streaming services is that when you encounter a portion of a film/show that you’re disinterested in, you can skip right ahead to the parts that fully engage you.
I generally don’t fast-forward most movies, but I did at least once with Rosaline, the new Karen Maine-directed comedy/romance, which functions as a reimagining of Romeo and Juliet.
In Maine’s story, this time, as you may have guessed, the protagonist is not Romeo but instead Rosaline, Romeo’s love interest before his beloved Juliet.
Starring Kaitlyn Dever, Bradley Whitford, Isabela Merced, Minnie Driver, Sean Teale and Kyle Allen, Rosaline is an easy-viewing experience that often serves up giggles and smiles for its audience. Charming, satisfying and creatively reimagined are some words that fit.
It would have been better if I never had to skip forward that one time as Rosaline played. Still, I’m happy to have been amused. And with that, I say, watch Rosaline if you’re especially curious to see a re-write of one of William Shakespeare’s most beloved plays.
Happy Film Loving

The Movie My Life 
I’m not exactly thrilled to watch another R&J remake but I like those 2 actors you have pictures of at the top. The guy plays a really good character in The Handmaid’s Tale series.
I feel exactly the same about Kaitlyn Dever and Bradley Whitford. In Rosaline, they are quite fun together as father and daughter.
Interesting twist. Have liked everything Dever has been in. Might give it a go…but will keep my finger poised on that FF button just in case! (I’ve done it a couple of times myself…!)
You’re right about Dever. She has good comic timing and charisma. It will be fun to see what she does next.
