• On the surface, " O " might seem to be the latest attempt to cash in on the teen market, following previous pop Shakespeare adaptations like Baz Luhrmann's " William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet " and the " Taming of the Shrew " knockoff " 10 Things I Hate About You ."

" The Moving Picture News " stated that this was the first Shakespeare adaptation by an Independent producer and said, " We were asked to inspect and criticize this film, and there was nothing for us to do but give our full approval and applause, which we do right heartily .
