Rosaline is a delight from start to finish, a brisk, bright-eyed, and inventive romantic comedy with constituent parts that probably shouldn’t work this well together but do. Read full review

Rosaline . . . understands what makes a good adaptation: a sense of humor at least on par with if not exceeding the original, lighthearted lines with serious delivery, crackling romantic chemistry. And in the case of Rosaline, an unmissable lead in Kaitlyn Dever as a lovelorn medieval schemer left on read. Read full review

Rosaline ultimately sparkles in this cheeky telling of the greatest love story never told. Read full review

Rosaline gets some things absolutely right—the casting of Dever, the use of music to lampoon genre clichés, its creative point of view—but it misses the mark it establishes for itself. It’s a misguided work that highlights the insincerities that have emerged in Hollywood’s recent charge towards “inclusion” and “diversity.” Read full review

Rosaline's shows its strengths when it focuses on the parallel story of Rosaline and Dario, but when the narrative crosses paths directly with Shakespeare’s story, Rosaline starts to fall apart, becoming a muddled mess of modern references, unusual characterizations, and ideas that don’t mix as well as they should.

There are certainly chuckle-worthy moments in the film, but they’re counted with a single hand. Read full review

The engine of this movie is snark, and Dever, overtaxed with carrying the comedy, brings a dauntlessness to the role, even during more daft moments. Read full review

In an attempt to milk more out of Shakespeare's canon, this film presents a variation on Romeo and Juliet.

The title character (played without much snap by Kaitlyn Dever) was Romeo's love…until he met Juliet. So, she decides to get in the middle. Like many of the modern re-creations of the Bard, they've modernized some of the language and music. Sadly, the dialogue lacks any punch and there's seldom an amusing moment. The pace keeps it from being too dull, but otherwise it's a rather plain romance.… Expand

The idea of this reinvention is simply to seek to amuse and entertain the young audience it is aimed at, and it's certainly not interested in doing anything else.
That was the idea I had in my head before I started watching it and this was 100% confirmed once I finished it.
