Seventeen-year-old Mimi despises playing Juliet against a self-centered celebrity Romeo. After a magical charm transports them to Shakespeare's Verona, Mimi realizes she has the opportunity to change Juliet's fate. Despite hammy prose and a lack of convincing historical and theatrical details, this costume drama is an enjoyable romantic fantasy.
