The cast is star studded and well acted. The scenery is amazing and the story well adapted to the screen. This version of the Shakespearean classic does honor to the bard with a comic portrayal by Michael Keaton that the actors of old would be in awe of. How could you not fall in love with the love stories of these two couples and take a lesson on the challenge of loving that someone is not as easy as falling off an imaginary horse. This film should be viewed by every High school student when learning about the Great literature of the past and perhaps every couple in love. Review: This is the best script ever! Thoroughly entertaining from beginning to end. Lots of subtle humor. - Great movie. Lots of period action, romance and humor.

Thoroughly entertaining from beginning to end. Lots of subtle humor. *by P***Y on August 19, 2023* Great movie. Lots of period action, romance and humor. Actors the best! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I was not born under a rhyming planet." *by V***N on May 31, 2011* It's been years since I first saw this in the theaters and fell in love with the production. I must have watched the VCR version about 4 more times afterwards. And now I finally have it on DVD! This movie was a turning point of sorts for me--finally, I connected with Shakespeare. Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson's exquisite performances made the words leap off the page and take flight. Despite the intricate prose (albeit with a couple of scenes and lines deleted), the Elizabeathan English made sense to me as it never had before. I was originally surprised to find out such witicisms as "Here comes the Prince and Monsiuer Love" and "There's a double meaning in that" were direct from the play itself, and not anachronistic additions by Branagh. Simply said, this production and Branagh's scintillating direction re-introduced my high school-Shakespeare-weary self to Shakespeare as a comic and dramatic genius. The sparks between Branagh and Thompson's Benedick and Beatrice and powerful and passionate, and Shakepeare's conception of love borne out of the desire not to have one's enemy's love go unrequited--though it is suggested throughout that B&B might have been lovers fallen out of love before the play begins--is hilarious while it is insightful. The scene in the garden where Don Pedro, Claudio, and Leonato deceive Benedick has me laughing out loud no matter how many times I view the scene. And speaking of Don Pedro, bravo to Branagh for casting Denzel Washington--a risky choice, no doubt, but one that worked out to perfection. I'm so used to seeing Washington as an angry black man in films focusing on either civil rights, hostage crises, or serial killers, that it is delightful to see him here as a magestic, jovial Italian prince--benignly leading the shenanigans. Alas, there are some weaknesses, such as Michael Keaton channeling Beetlejuice into his interpretation of Dogberry, though the malapropisms are hilarious (I would bestow all my tediousness on you!). Similarly, Keanu Reeves as Don John is dull. However, the radiance that is Thompson and Branagh in this gloriously sunlight adaption outweigh that concern. Robert Sean Leonard is fine as Claudio: earnest and gullible to a fault. Kate Beckinsdale is the picture of innocent maidenhood. Also, one plot point that always annoyed me: why didn't Margaret come forward? I suppose it was fear of the consequences to herself, but given such a selfish motivation when Hero's life and honor are at stake makes the easy way in which she is forgiven at the end seem a bit unbelievable, even for an unbelievable play. Ah well, in his comedies, Shakespeare is the king of happy coincidences and useful contrivances. It's a minor point. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1891340-much-ado-about-nothing-ws-rpkg-dvd](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1891340-much-ado-about-nothing-ws-rpkg-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
