I have a sad confession. I just don't get Shakespeare. And I had a hard time following it, when made to read it in school.
That said, I loved this movie. Really!
I love watching Kenneth Branagh work. Throw in his former spouse, Emma Thompson, and you have me hooked. I saw `Dead Again' in the theater when it was released back in the 90's, and love it.
My wife and I just got the DVD of `Much Ado', and totally enjoyed this fine piece of movie making. The casting was superb. And Michael Keaton has the best part of the film. And the final scene with the cast singing is glorious to watch. The fact it was done as one shot is amazing.
This should be shown to any high school class that is slugging it's way thru any of The Bard's work.
