Not For Everyone...In Fact, Not For Hardly Anyone....

Rating: 1/10 (5 May 2013)

Three interesting facts:
1. The number of people who like to Shakespeare is small. 2. Some of those people must have a lot of money. 3. And they don't care if they waste it on movies...
My first inclination is the slam this film for for any number of reason like "waste of time," "waste of money," "waste of great talent," etc. However, I can't say if the people involved got what they wanted out of it. Maybe the investors were fine making a film that loses money and they just wanted to make it. Maybe the actors expect (or didn't care) that it would essentially be a "failure" with only a handful of people seeing it. Maybe the producers and director were so driven by the project, "success" wasn't remotely important.
However, if any of the above isn't accurate, if the investors actually thought they had a good chance of making money or the stars thought it would be a hit, or that it would be a critically acclaimed pieces...maybe those people need to surround themselves with smarter people to help make the big decisions.
