Review of Much Ado About Nothing (1993) by Kate P — 29 Jan 2008

FABULOUS!!

Thus far, my favorite of all Kenneth Branagh-ness. He is attractive beyond words and also HILAAAARIOUS. Emma Thompson is great too, as are Dr. Wilson and Kate Beckinsale (who, by the way, is unreckognizably young and non-vampirey). Keanu Reeves sucks, but that is to be expected. He and Denzel have bad accents but it's all good. THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD. It's one of those movies that's even better in retrospect. The cinematography is pretty badass for the 90s, especially those gloriously long shots that open and close the film that I LOVE. You can't go wrong with Shakespeare, this is such a fabulously hilarious and witty and moving play, and even though there are some rather odd points it all works out in the end. SEE IT. And fall in love with dearest Kenneth.
