Dorathen Better Late Then Never

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

studioAT I enjoyed this adaptation of Shakespeare's classic comedy, and thought the big name cast did well in bringing the iconic characters to life. The star power perhaps won't have the same effect on students watching it now as part of their studies, but it's still a good adaptation.I thought it particular Calista Flockhart shone, but Kevin Kline also has his moments.A solid adaptation.

Robert Falzmann "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is a story about the re-enchantment of everyday life. The actors don't speak modern-day English so it is often difficult to understand what they are saying. But thankfully this is the kind of film that you can watch many times over mostly because it is not a drama. Or rather the drama in this film is softened to the point of seeming like a harmless interlude. The film after all is a tame love comedy and simple at what it does. Towards the end of the film you realize that wondering and dreaming is more important to the pursuit of happiness than having or owning. An antidote to everything else in life.Also recommended: "Bringing Up Baby" (1938)

Xanthe Young Having studied 'The Tempest' at school anyone who knows me knows of my remarkably low opinion of Shakespeare. I think he's utterly over rated and his plots are weak and making up words his nothing to be proud of. Yes he was talented but is it strictly nessesary to dedicate a SATS paper to him? I don't think so.Yes I hate Shakespeare and I'm not embarrassed in the least to say that i don't understand a word of his plays. However I enjoyed this film. Which coming from me means a lot. The cinematography was good enough to make up for the language and the acting was good enough that i actually understood what was happening. The moment the film finished i had to rewind it and watch it again.

ntsci The dream is my favourite Shakepearean play. Truth be told if I had the choice, I'd rather seen the Dream performed live. This is one of the most entertaining adaptations of Shakespeare I've seen on film. Most films of a Shakespearean play are boring, but this one was beautiful and hilarious. I rented it, but then purchase a copy so that I could enjoy it over and over again.The soundtrack was perfect, the setting was elegant, and everything worked together.Puck played by Stanley Tucciin was superb. I think he should get much larger movie roles then he has in the past. I also really enjoyed Kevin Klines interpretation of Bottom.If you love the Dream, you'll love this film.
