Pseudo-literate rubbish

Rating: 2/10 (28 December 2001)

This film is aimed squarely at people who like to pat themselves on the back for supposedly being educated and well-read. If you think that the idea that the original title of Romeo and Juliet was "Romeo and Ethel the Pirate" is a clever joke, then this movie is for you. If you pride yourself on recognizing literary references/inside "jokes" in a movie, this is for you. Others beware.
