Injecting the film with fun and pathos, Kline makes a superb Bottom; it's his play and he acts it to the hilt. Feb 9, 2006 | Full Review…

Hoffman charts a middle course, and travels it quite well -- his version is neither as elaborately baroque as Max Reinhardt's 1935 film treatment nor as starkly sexual as Peter Brooks's celebrated 1970 staging. Mar 19, 2002 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Bathed in sunshine, stardust and star power, this 'Dream' should be required viewing for anyone who insists Shakespeare is stuffy and dull. ...this is Shakespeare for the masses. Aug 5, 2007 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…
