July 2, 2008Al Pacino I love you so god-damn much! This documentary-like film is one the best comedies of the last decade and has one hell of a great cast.
Al Pacino:"What do you think about Hamlet?" Girl:"It sucks." Al Pacino: "IT SUCKS!?!?" -
June 13, 2007I love Pacino in this...he is manical and a bit obsessed with King Richard. It's a little weird. I thought Keanu Reeves was hard to listen to reciting Shakespeare; he'll always sound like a surfer to me.

July 27, 2009If you've never read Shakespeare because you think it's difficult, this movie is for you. If you are well acquainted with the Bard and are looking for useful ruminations on his art, this movie is NOT for you.

May 18, 2009I enjoyed it. I'm not sure how well this achieves the goal of selling Shakespeare to a mass audience--several people who watched this with me were not happy.

May 8, 2009An inspired Al Pacino accompanied by a whole cast of talented actors, seeking to reveal how Shakespeare is perceived in the American society along with an intense exploration of the play Richard III. We get a chance to see Al Pacino the stage actor, rather than the usual gangster...( read more)

Having chosen to be actors, they know they cannot respect their craft without embracing its greatest writer. Having chosen to be readers and viewers, we cannot do less, and this film is a delightful i... full review
