Top Critics Reviews

I remain skeptical about the ability of even the best American actors to read Shakespeare's lines without giving the impression that they are enduring very painful cultural root canal work.

Injecting the film with fun and pathos, Kline makes a superb Bottom; it's his play and he acts it to the hilt.

If there is sacrilege afoot, I'm not enough of a scholar to spot it.

The film is never a chore to watch, but others have done better by the Bard.

rotten:
Unfortunately, despite the wonderful locations, sets, costumes, and strong acting, this adaptation has a strange lack of magic or chemistry between players.
