The Fantasticks

In this 1995 adaptation directed by Michael Ritchie, the story revolves around two neighboring fathers who concoct a plan to make their children fall in love by pretending to feud. The film stars Joel Grey, Barnard Hughes, and Jean Louisa Kelly, bringing to life the whimsical and romantic tale originally based on the long-running off-Broadway musical. While the movie did not receive any major awards, it remains a charming exploration of young love and parental scheming. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on Soap2day.
