Reviews

mahindaradio The idea is not to get side tracked by indifferent reviews. A review needs to be truthful and not a journey to the past epitomizing the original, then it does not do justice to a work of art. Ronnie and Julie is a version using the Old Master's plot, but departing from the tragedy to the happy ending. That is what Dream Merchants are for. All in all, very enjoyable
happy_gurl_2003 I rarely ever write reviews for movies but I feel this movie deserves a review. I love this movie, it is such a great movie. SO romantic and no, I don't mean in a teenage sort of way. Anyone at any age would find this movie romantic. Julie (Margot Finley) is so beautiful in the movie and Ronnie (Joshua Jackson) is so adorable. Willa (Alexandra Purvis) is sooo cute in this movie. She steals the show in every scene she is in and she reminds so much of my cousin who is younger then me. I love the whole figure skating part of the movie. The hockey playing part was okay, I don't particularly care for hockey, but it was alright. My favourite scene in particular was the scene when Ronnie and Julie were kissing in the snow.One of the highlights of the movie was the song. "Something Happened to My Heart." It was one of the most beautiful romantic ballads I've ever heard. I don't understand why the singers of the song didn't become more famous. Maybe they were contracted to do the song for the movie and that was it.In any case, this is a wonderful movie, no violence, sex or anything offensive. You can watch it with the whole family. I highly recommend it.I give it 10/10.
becky-65 This was amazing. Like another comment has said, other movies use comedy. But this movie isn't based on comedy, but romance and drama, I think that that is what makes it unique. A brilliant movie, and I guarantee that if you watch it you won't be disappointed. I give it 11 out of 10.
FilmFancier I give this movie a 10. Unfortunately, I lost my last post so this will have to do. It has a great script, and is very well acted. Joshua Jackson is awesome (he makes the film) as is his chemistry w/ Margot Finley. All the actors are very good. The dialogue is believable as are the characters. It's a great update of Romeo and Juliet, set in High School. The skating aspect ties it together well (RECOMENDED FOR hockey players/figure skaters). You can't help but love this sweet, romantic movie- it's not too sappy. (As if you need more convincing, JOSH JACKSON IS SOOOOO HOT!!!) I recommend this to anyone, you can see it on Showtime in the winter. It's sure to make you smile!
