Maketh me sicketh
19 July 2000
Is it just me, or are more and more films nowadays being made using "classic" text? I am SO sick of Shakespeare remakes that I was probably a bit biased going into seeing "Midsummer Night's Dream." I thought "Shakespeare in Love" was totally over-rated and this film was just another thankless retread that should've just remained unseen. Kevin Kline and Stanley Tucci are ok, but there's something to be said about "STARS" doing Shakespeare. Stick Ian McKellen in there and it's almost like Shakespeare, stick Ally McBeal in there and it's a friggin joke. Please go read the play, help me gain back some of the magic that Shakespeare has lost throughout the dark 1990's. 6 out of 10 - an F. -Kris
