Title: A lot of Fun!
Review: I saw this movie in the theater the first day it came out, and I was very pleasantly surprised with it! I honestly didn't think the movie would turn out to be as entertaining as it is. The sets and period costumes are wonderful, and they let you imagine what it would have been like to actually be there. Heath Ledger gives a strong performance, equally adept at comedy as he is at drama. Some of the best performances in the movie are from the actors who play his friends. Mark Addy is absolutely perfect as Geoffrey Chaucer, and his character is especially fun if you know his history before you see the movie. There's great chemistry between Ledger and his friends, but one of the film's problems is a bit of an occasional lack of chemistry between Ledger and Shannyn Sossamon, who gives an otherwise good, funny performance as Jocelyn. This has already become one of my favorite movies on DVD, but for most people, it's going to be a love-it-or-hate-it movie.
