I'm not a big fan of Shakespeare. Never got into the whole phenom. If it weren't for the fact that Rufus Sewell was starring with Shirley Henderson, I probably would not have bothered watching this.
But I'm glad I did. It's completely charming, captivating, odd, and extremely entertaining. Rufus and Shirley are seriously the wildest characters I've ever seen put together on television. The strangest thing is, the chemistry actually worked. By the end of the film, everything just felt right. I smiled and clapped for these characters, because despite the odds, they found and accepted each other.
This is the second time I've been introduced to Rufus Sewell, and I do hope to see him lots in the future. I've never seen a man dressed in drag still look that attractive.
