Witty film; who cares about anything else? :)

Rating: 10/10 (8 March 1999)

I enjoyed this film very much! Didn't expect any of the actors to be "deep" or to play with "passion" (which some of them did!!) .. Of greater importance to me was the very witty screenplay and I enjoyed every minute of it. One should not take delicate wit for granted: we don't have much of it in films nowadays. This is a highly enjoyable "farce", with nothing new and unexpected in the plot except the joy of every line uttered by the characters. I've seen it today and I intend seeing it again and again.. For those who know how to enjoy a good film and are tired of critics speaking about the "lack of depth" or "a boring story" - Go for it!! This film isn't about romantic comedy or tragedy. It's about the wonderful "shakespearean" wit of Tom Stoppard and the sheer joy of the English language.
