Review of Shakespeare in Love (1998) by David L — 23 Aug 2015
Shakespeare in Love is both good and bad as a romantic comedy, bad because the romance at the center of it is weak and forgettable, but excellent because the humor is incredibly good with a couple of hilarious lines and an all around fun tone to it.
The acting is not fantastic, but Judi Dench is awesome here and the characters, while the lead ones are so-so, the rest are very well developed and portrayed. It is also a technically polished film with superb costumes and beautiful scenery.
It is a very entertaining and charming film which is above all an original and highly unique mix of familiar ideas.
