Review of Were the World Mine (2008) by Brad K — 10 Mar 2011
The is a story about a teenage boy named Timothy (Tanner Cohen), who takes his role as the mischievious love-potion merchant Puck in A Midsummer Night's Dream and expands it to encompass the entire town.
Timothy has no friends at school, and a strained relationship with his mother. Meanwhile, the crush he's nursing for rugby star Jonathon (Nathaniel David Becker) goes both unvoiced and apparently unrequited. His only pals are Max and Frankie (a straight couple)..Timothy's most important ally turns out to be Ms. Tebbit (Wendy Robie), an English teacher who's apparently the only woman at the all-boys school. Preparing to stage Shakespeare's fairy-powered romantic comedy, Ms. Tebbit defies both the arrogant rugby coach and the students themselves â" none of whom are thrilled about reviving the Elizabethan custom of having boys play the women's roles. So dear Timothy prepares a love potion of sorts that once sprayed on someone, it makes them love you but it seems in this instance it turns everyone gay!
The question I ponder is what if you had a love potion that once given to the object of your affection, it will make them love you! Interesting premise but anyways it was a fun movie albeit kind of juvenile..
