Title: trying to understand people and....
Review: people's love of this movie! I must have many cultural blind spots or just bad taste in movies.. gosh, who knows... what I think of the movie is that very few movies have bored me more than this one! granted, I know precious little about Shakespeare so I guess I missed many of the jokes that the 'sophisticated' people loved so much.. I remember sitting in the movie theater surrounded by aspiring intellectuals laughing almost all the way through it... I don't remember a genuine laugh coming from me...however, I think I've been known in the past to have a sense of humor, lest anyone thinks I'm just a bore... movie seemed to be quite convoluted and I've seen many movies much more romantic and clever than this one, but like I wrote above, I am probably culturally illiterate and remain simply an ignorant simpleton... I'm glad you intellectuals enjoyed it. (no sarcasm of course)
Is the review positive or negative?
