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

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

Maybe Kenneth Branagh should have left the Hollywood musical where he found it, back in the 1930s.

Top CriticYes, sadly, some of Love's Labour's Lost is laboured, indeed.

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.

Love's Labour's Lost hops, bumps and skids along the ground like the flightless creature that it is.

Top CriticOne might as well be watching Lawrence Welk reruns.
09/10/01

A film of ingenious concepts put into practice with disappointing clumsiness.
01/01/00
A double travesty -- a triple one, actually, if you consider the quality of the singing and dancing.
01/01/00
Top CriticWhat we're left with are a few transcendent moments sprinkled throughout a sluggish two hours.
01/01/00
Devices meant to keep Shakespeare user-friendly instead reduce the story to a jumble.
