  A total blast, it's an utterly delightful and wonderfully cheerful romantic-comedy that you will just fall in love with. A masterpiece. Director, Kenneth Branagh proves he is a true master of the interpretation of Shakespeare's work and has a wonderful all-star cast to back it up. It's extremely entertaining and tremendously enjoyable. The battle of the sexes has never been this much fun. Kenneth Branagh, Denzel Washington, Robert Sean Leonard, Michael Keaton, Kate Beckinsale, Emma Thompson and Keanu Reeves have sensational chemistry, they show great love and passion to the material and their characters, showing they are having a blast. Branagh and Thompson are excellent. Washington is magnificent. Leonard and Beckinsale are a revelation. Keaton is hilarious. A hilarious and heartfelt movie. A true classic. Shakespeare has never been this much fun. A real gem.

  Branagh and Thompson carry the film and shine in their roles.

  A wonderfully old-fashioned adaptation of one of William Shakespeare's comedies with a stellar cast. While it is hard to pick out someone, Michael Keaton is particularly awesome as confused constable. Of course drama, complications and evil plots ensue, but of course, since this is a comedy, justice will be done. In the ending it's all just singing, all dancing to Patrick Doyle's beautiful melodies. It shows that everyone had a lot of fun creating this in the gorgeous Tuscany landscape and that's infectious for an audience who can appreciate the old-fashioned dialogs and acting. Beautiful.

  The love hate of Beatrice and Benedict was my favorite part, coupled with the enigmatic Denzel Washington.

  I don't know what Keanu Reeves and Denzel Washington were doing in this movie, but they stuck out like sore thumbs. It's a "good" adaption, but certainly not special. When I think of the 60's Romeo and Juliet, that was memorable and a classic. This, not so… More

  I really enjoyed this. Kenneth Branagh has always been good at bringing Shakespeare to the great unwashed masses, making it undertandable and entertaining. But it could have been better. What was KB smokin' when he decided casting Keanu Reeves was a good idea? Reeves is so bad in this that he distracted me from the other actors. Stick to hanging out with Bill and Morpheus, dude. The Bard is not your cup of tea.

  Sterling cast great writing (hehehehe)

• xGary X

  
  A cast of Hollywood stars attempt to garner some credibility by doing Shakespeare. A decent adaptation which depends entirely on your ability to stomach Shakespearian comedy. Which I can't.

• Lanning :

  
  I hope Branagh does every Shakespeare play before he's done. He really knows how to bring the plays to life. If you've had trouble understanding Shakespeare, let Branagh's adaptations help you see the beauty of the Bard.

• John B

  
  Yep it is great Branagh. He and Emma Thompson really worked back in the day..before all that other stuff happened. Keanu Reeves impresses as the block of wood.

• Marion R

  
  There are performances to like, but the whole film felt dry.

• Sunil J

  
  Faithful to the Bard's work but not really fresh. Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh have great chemistry though.

• Sarah B

  
  Hero and Claudio may be insipid, surprising from Beckinsale and Dr. House's best friend, but the play was never really about them. This is Beatrice and Benedick's, Thompson and Branagh's show, show and boy is it good!

• Dimitris S

  
  The bard would approve.Craftsmanship for the scholars,Branagh enters the American department with untouchable perfectionism.Ah,the joys of amour and distinct circumstances.All this while Keaton delivers the weirdest performance of his career as Dogberry.

• Leo L

  
  A personal favorite.

  FANTASTIC! Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson shine as Benedick and Beatrice. Shakespeare is honoured perfectly in the stunning Tuscan landscape. Michael Keaton is a joy as the sheriff. It would have been perfect... if not for two actors: Keanu Reeves and Robert Sean Leonard.… More
  FANTASTIC! Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson shine as Benedick and Beatrice. Shakespeare is honoured perfectly in the stunning Tuscan landscape. Michael Keaton is a joy as the sheriff. It would have been perfect... if not for two actors: Keanu Reeves and Robert Sean Leonard. Reeves is totally monotone and boring. Leonard simply doesn't know how to deliver Shakespeare properly. Or act, for that matter. Still, 'tis but a tiny stain on that perfect page. Very, very good and highly recommended for those leerly of Shakespeare. This accessible film will have you rolling in the aisles.
