Why?
By ATfilmcritic from London , 25 Jun 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
Infuriating romantic comedy in which every moment is drowned in a sea of schmaltz, particularly those between the lovers; the script is fairly good, witty even, but is ruined by honey-coated direction and poor performances.
Why this arrogant, soppy sludge won so many Oscars remains beyond comprehension; it’s just a run-of-the-mill, saccharine rom-com. Don’t be drawn in by the word ‘Shakespeare’ in its title; it doesn’t make it any cleverer.- Was this review helpful to you?

By a customer , 09 Mar 2013Having seen this when it was first relesed I wanted to vew it again .It did not dissapoint and I really enjoyed the beautiful costumes and sets .Judy Dench play's a very credable and amusing Elizabeth . I think the film generally well cast , and I'm not even a fan of Paltrow . I am a fan of Rupert Everett and really enjoyed his performance .An entertaining film that does not turn the brain to mush .- Was this review helpful to you?

Fun viewing
By OCR (1 review) , 04 Dec 2012'Theatre' not real life but very enjoyable. Our first experience of Blu-ray which was great. With less skin on display, the viewer age range might have been extended downwards. But I assume that was what the directors wanted.- Was this review helpful to you?

Subtitles please
By a customer , 24 Aug 2012Interesting film but the dialogue was, at times, very fast and consequently a bit garbled.
It would really benefit from use of subtitles- Was this review helpful to you?

A disappointment
By a customer , 09 Apr 2012Really quite tedious - no sparkle to bring the far fetched story line to life - no acting talent to speak of on anyone's part really. A disappointment.- Was this review helpful to you?
