Review: The story itself, to me, appeared to be somewhat of a Romeo and Juliet tale. Two families feuding, killing each other, and then the son of one family and the daughter of the other fall in love without knowing who each other really are. However, this is definitely the funny version. This movie both storyline and with characters exhibits humor. It is slapstick comedy but watching the main character constantly try to keep from getting shot will provide anyone with a few laughs. Overall, I enjoyed the movie. I am not sure I will be watching it again any time soon, but it was definitely better then some of the ones before it. Then again I feel any movie is going to benefit if it has the potential to make people laugh.
