I never realised Shakespeare could be so much fun!

This film is fantastic! It's got an absoutely wonderful cast, the scenery is beautiful and the story's got everything. Even if you think Shakespeare isn't your cup of tea, please give this a try. I actually went to see it at the cinema without having a clue what it was about - I'm ashamed to admit I didn't even realise it was Shakespeare - I'd just seen an article in a magazine about Robert Sean Leonard and thought he looked cute - but within minutes I'd grasped the language and was completely entralled. Fifteen years later and it's still one of my favourites. I've yet to meet anyone who dislikes this film - even my partner thoroughly enjoyed it and he would usually steer well clear of anything that could be described as a period drama.
