Great entertaining movie good for either sex.

Rating: 9/10 (8 January 1999)

I saw Shakespeare in Love about 2 weeks ago and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. The best thing about this movie is the wonderful cast. Everyone did extremely well. And they were all nominated for Golden Globe awards except for Joseph Fiennes. As for Paltrow, this is her best film yet. I personally like her a lot and I have never thought she was a GREAT actress. I saw almost every movie she had a role in this past year. Shakespeare in Love lets Paltrow show her true acting talent as it truly is with a great cast and wonderful screenplay. I went into this movie with a girl and expected it to be a typical chick flick. But I had a great time watching it and laughed a lot. All of the reviews praising this movie are true and it is a perfect movie to take your girlfriend too and actually enjoy it at the same time. Only problem is that it is not playing in too many theaters; but who knows, maybe that will change.
