a cute flick

Rating: Null/10 (4 November 2002)

Okay, so it's not a timeless portrayal of the Bard's immortal work. And sure, it's kinda pop and won't win any arsty awards. But hey, sometimes you just want something fun. And it is. And if you pay attention to the lines, you'll end up with milk coming out your nose. Most of the really funny bits sneak up on you, smack you on the back of the head, and run off. Definitely worth a rental if you're looking for some laughs and a little romance; for something not Jim Carrey but not Oscar Wilde; for some extra credit for English lit; for some funny feel-good cleverness. Besides, Heath Ledger's a hottie. ;)
