We all know who's going to pair off with whom in the end, but Branagh does get us there in some considerable style.

Even though Love's Labour's Lost is, in showbiz terms, a turkey stuffed with chestnuts, you wouldn't trade it for a pot of gold.

Top CriticIt's all light and frothy and harmless, but, for some, cotton candy won't substitute for the denser, more dangerous joys of chocolate fudge.

This film is colorful and flighty and insubstantial and sentimental, and exults in it.

Alicia Silverstone was better as Batgirl than in this piece of garbage. I don't think she even understood what she was saying.

The most exultant epiphany of romantic celebration I've seen in a film--ever.

The real question is why there aren't more of these.
01/01/00
Yes, sadly, some of Love's Labour's Lost is laboured, indeed.
01/01/00
Though the tunes of Gershwin, Porter, Kern and Berlin on display here are great too, their mere presence can't overcome the problems of adaptation, casting and direction that mar the picture.

A delightful romantic comedy with musical numbers by Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and George Gershwin.

Its cheery countenance is impossible to ignore.
