Appaulingly unnecessary

Rating: 1/10 (27 April 2006)

The acting was one in the long list of many reasons not to see this film. Undoubtabley, every few years, they will and have so far, made a tatty remake of a Shakespeare play and tried to hip it up for the kids etc. I'm fine with that concept, because in the end of the day- kids these days are too stupid to sit down and appreciate Shakespeare (and I'm one of that number) but this film was an insult to even the most illiterate of film goers. It didn't only defecate on the original plot and scripting of twelfth night- Amanda bynes went one step further and danced on Shakespeare's grave, revelling in her own appaulingly egotistical and frankly, unfunny as hell acting abilities. She was dire. She was more dire, as it happens, than the rest of the hideously misguided cast. Vinnie Jones?!?! I'm sorry- why? What possessed a relative English hardman, to do this sort of film- LET ALONE- a poor teen flick like this. Ten things I hate about you was better than this, and that's saying something. Please, cast better actors, and less inanely irritating protagonists next time you have to remake a Shakespeare for a dumbed down market.
