Something for everyone...

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2002)

History and fashion buffs will drool at the remarkable recreation of Shakesperian England. Music fans will enjoy the pleasant score, comedians the humor, hopeless romantics the story. Too bad Palthrow's perfomance commercially... and Oscar-ly overshadowed the fine effort of Fiennes as the young bard. A perfect supporting cast from Rush to Dench to Affleck. Just a good 'ol date movie that guys won't squirm through.
