Juliet , Nakedearned an overall meld - to - positve reception from the critic who saw it at Sundance back in January . Judging by theearly reviews , the motion picture does a respectable job at combining ungainly but tender romantic clowning with an geographic expedition of obsessive grownup fanboy acculturation , in the same way that Hornby novels - turned movies likeHigh FidelityandFever Pitchhave before it . At the same time , however , it sounds likeJuliet , Nakedmight be a littletoolow - key and by the bit for its own goodness .
Still , thanks to its charming leading and the good-humoured tone suggested by the trailer , Juliet , Nakedshould be capable to line up some success as parry - programming when it strike theater in August . It will certainly stand apart from its verbatim opening weekend challenger , which include the Mark Wahlberg activeness / thrillerMile 22and prehistorical adventureAlpha .
