A rather boring uninteresting movie

Rating: 4/10 (9 June 1999)

I guess I am just one of those people that will never understand the intrigue and fuss about Shakespeare. I don't enjoy any of his work unless it is parodied in Porky's 2. I found this movie to be well acted and well directed and it had good cinematography and a few laughs. But that is like having a big juicy looking hamburger that looks just amazing. It's dressed perfectly and has tomato and cheese and lettuce hanging over the side. But then when you bite into it, it tastes like cardboard. That is what this film was like to me. It just didn't have me interested in the characters. Judi Dench was well deserved of her Oscar ( I enjoyed her ) but the film was rather boring.
