Review of Love's Labour's Lost (1985) by Jonathan R — 11 Sep 2011
All the elements I usually love are here: vibrant 1930s costuming, Gershwin music, Branagh, Timothy Spall, and did I mention Shakespeare? Instead of a clever, comical, creative and fresh take on one of Shakespeare's lesser known works we instead receive a bizarre mismatch frantically performed by actors who are in way over the heads: Mathew Lillard, Alicia Silverstone and Alessandro Nivola - I'm looking at you.
A reprieve goes to Nathan Lane for actually being funny and appearing to understand the meaning behind his lines.
