Title: Pablum for the pseudo-literate
Review: The allegedly ingenious and highbrow humor of this film is based almost entirely on the gimmick of contriving to have "real life" references for things ultimately stuck in Shakespeare plays, and then a cute idea in SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN. Here it just seems stupid. What really drove me nuts was certain members of the audience were laughing hysterically every time it happened. Yet there is no real cleverness applied to the technique, merely the humor of recognition. I felt the audience members were laughing excessively in order to prove how "literary" they were for recognizing the HAHAHAHAHAHA !!!! You see WE know NOW that it became Romeo and Juliet ! Get it ? And it was MARLOWE ^V who might have written Shakespeare's plays - who gave him the idea for the final title. Get it ? GET IT?Neither do I.
Is the review positive or negative?
