Book Challenge-Day 8- Most overrated book (or play?)

Or play... I hated this book/play.  I read it my freshman year in high school English, and I had no desire to read it again.  I understand that Romeo and Juliet were acting like a bunch of middle school/high school age kids, but this was one of the dumbest stories in my opinion.  I know it was probably quite entertaining as a play, but I am not a big fan of the story.  I don't think it offers much character development or any good examples for kids these days.  I am kind of harsh with this play, but I just really disliked it, and although it IS by Shakespeare, there are so many other plays that are a ton better than this one.
