Review of Shakespeare in Love (1998) by Grant S — 03 Jun 2011

I can't imagine why this movie beat out Saving Private Ryan for best picture, but it bored me. The beginning made it seem like it was going to be bad and it didn't get much better. I don't know why Judi Dench win Best Supporting Actress, she only had like 3 lines.

Rush and Firth were both limited to their dumb character although they were important. Afleck's role was laughable bad and unneccesary. As a whole, the relationship between the two leads was good, but everything in the background was bad.
