Cheering for spot-on performances.

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2006)

Shakespeare is cheering! So funny, I laughed out loud--in fact, I fell over laughing (good thing I was with a friend...). The contrast between the character personalities of the hero and heroine (disguised as a hero) is just right: Viola brings out the best in Duke. The physical comedy is handled with finesse, if I may be so bold as to use such a word for such antics, and are terrific for dynamic energy. The supporting cast is as pricelessly funny and enjoyable as the principals--in fact, the movie couldn't do without them! So what if some of the jokes could have been predicted...the acting, which means the characterization, the timing, the delivery, the freshness of personalities, was "spot on!" Dig? Go see it!!
