Question

Answer 1

Similarities:
* Romance between young lovers
* The lovers' families are against each other
* The problems in couple's love-life occur due to friction between their parents/families

Difference
* "Son Of The Mob" is comic, "Romeo and Juliet" is a tragedy
* "Son Of The Mob" is a meant for young readers (teenagers), "Romeo and Juliet" is a play targeted at mature audience
* "Son Of The Mob" is very contemporary, "Romeo and Juliet" is set in 16th century

Answer 2

Both versions are done with the original script, however Romeo + Juliet is much more modern with guns and cars and all that good stuff and has a few changes such as scene. The 1968 verison is done exactly how Shakespeare originally intended it to be done. I personally like the 1968 verison better because Romeo and Juliet are the ages that is said in the story (Juliet is in fact 14) where as they use adults who look like teenagers in R+J.
