The fact that the screening which I attended of Love's Labour's Lost was packed by academics holding their sides with laughter speaks for itself.


This film is one of the most unique and enjoyable productions of Shakespeare I've ever had the pleasure of viewing.  Filled with send-ups of great old films, wonderful music (sung by the actors themselves, I might add) and all of the camp and slapstick humour of "A Day at the Races", it ably showcases Mr. Branagh's unique ability to make Shakespeare accessible and enjoyable to all.  Frothy and light as a champagne bubble, this adaptation is sure to enjoy a long, long run.

When was the last time you left the theatre singing?  You will.


Warning: This film should not be viewed by pseudo-intellectuals or persons with closed minds!

score 10/10
