'Juliet, Naked' Review: Ethan Hawke, Rose Byrne and Chris O'Dowd sparkle to elevate a Nick Hornby classic
Acquired by Lionsgate at Sundance this year, 'Juliet, Naked' is a charming romantic comedy about second chances and the curveballs that life throws your way.
Starring the delightful Rose Byrne, Chris O'Dowd and Ethan Hawke, this rom-com is everything viewers want — funny, relatable, charming and unpredictable. Directed by Jesse Peretz, produced by Judd Apatow and based on a 2009 novel by Nick Hornby, 'Juliet, Naked' is reminiscent of some of the best romantic comedies of our time such as 'Notting Hill', 'High Fidelity' and 'You've Got Mail'.
'Juliet, Naked' follows Annie (played by Rose Byrne), a museum curator in a small English seaside town stuck in a long-term relationship with Duncan (played by Chris O'Dowd), a film professor and obsessive fan of obscure rocker Tucker Crowe (played by Ethan Hawke), who hasn't released new music in over two decades.
