A good story should get better with each telling. This was not the case with this muddled version. Truthfully, I am not perceptive enough to articulate what went wrong. I just felt that the story was flat, unfunny, with very little emotional impact, all particularly puzzling for such seasoned actors. I only lasted about 45-minutes, and then decided that it wasn't worth the struggle to hang in there. At least this was a first for me, walking out on a film based on a Shakespeare play! While Shakespeare in Love was electrifying, this film hardly produced any sparks.
