Review: I didn't expect anything too great, but this was simply painful to watch. I have nothing against quirkiness, or modern takes on Shakespeare, but watching this film is a lot like watching an obnoxiously loud, two-hour-long commercial that's trying hard to tell the teenagers of the world that "we understand what you think is cool." Chris Tucker does NOT help. Nor does the eye-wearying, goofy, rapid-fire editing. Nor does the fact that the actors are simply not very compelling in their roles. I don't see how anyone other than teeny-bopper girls who like to see Leonardo DiCaprio wet could get much of anything out of this. It simply has no charm, no sense of tact or aesthetic restraint. The attempts at humor are never funny. It may be true that it is meant to be over-the-top, but it could've been over-the-top and done well at the same time. Instead it's a tiresome, annoying mess.
Is the review positive or negative?
