Top CriticA luscious labor of love.
07/06/08
Top CriticWe all know who's going to pair off with whom in the end, but Branagh does get us there in some considerable style.
07/06/08
Top CriticAn act of double homage to antique artifice.
02/09/06
Alicia Silverstone was better as Batgirl than in this piece of garbage. I don't think she even understood what she was saying.
12/06/05
Branagh takes one of Shakespeare's lesser-known plays and puts his own imaginative spin on the subject.
04/09/05
Maybe Kenneth Branagh should have left the Hollywood musical where he found it, back in the 1930s.
02/21/04
Top CriticDevices meant to keep Shakespeare user-friendly instead reduce the story to a jumble.
06/06/03
Casting Silverstone as the princess gives final proof of Branagh's temporary (one hopes) insanity.
05/14/03
Love's Labour's Lost wasn't lost on me at all; if I could float into the air, singing 'Cheek to Cheek' with total, unabashed sincerity, I probably would.

It's a delightful blend of past styles and songs that adds a much-needed zest to a dry and dreary movie season.

Top CriticA delightful romantic comedy with musical numbers by Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and George Gershwin.
03/13/02
The most exultant epiphany of romantic celebration I've seen in a film--ever.
03/07/02
Might have worked a little better on stage, and with a few different actors.
02/28/02
A number of the actors surprise and beguile.
