An earnest experiment in don't-ask-don't-tell drama as indebted to shirtlessness as to iambic pentameter.

Private Romeo will undoubtedly be regarded by some as a curio, but it's a sweet, sympathetic and surprising one, highly recommended to the adventurous spirit in an enlightened and changing world.
Rex Reed, New York Observer
Rotten
A pandering coming-of-ager about sexual identity and equality.
