Title: A very depressing version of a wonderful comedy!
Review: I usually enjoy Kenneth Branagh's versions of the Bard, but I truly believe he missed the mark on this one. So many hilarious moments were either passed over, or made overwhelmingly depressing! For instance, the entire scene with Malvolio in the prison is supposed to be a continuation of the joke. For some reason, Feste discovers a conscience and makes everyone feel bad about what they have done. That is not how it should be done!! Even the comical fight scene between Sir Andrew and Cesario is just awful and degenerates into sadness. The end is horrible!! This is supposed to be the great revealing, everything should end happily. Unfortunately, again it is extremely depressing. Do not waste your time on this. I will be looking for a much better version for my high school classes.
