Time and again, Mott's arrogance crushes the play.

This "Midsummer" is a chore.

Whether you are amused or bemused, it's unlikely that you'll feel much of anything; this is comedy at its frothiest and foamiest.

Cinemalogue

ultimately can't reconcile the distracting awkwardness that comes with placing these characters and dialogue into this setting. The result feels lost in translation.

So quick bright things come to confusion.

Though no one stands out in the ensemble, everyone does a fantastic job of wrapping their mouths around Shakespeare's dialogue and giving it a present-day spin.

I think it's very hard to do Shakespeare in film because the audience is such an integral part of the story. This is the only film I've ever seen that has manage to keep that sort of feeling. It is wonderfully acted and thought out and it's absolutely insane, just as midsummer should be.

I've now seen this twice - the second time I brought friends because I enjoyed it so much the first time. It's clever, magical, and laugh out loud funny. A wonderful mash-up that respects the original language in a context that makes it fresh.

I Just happened to be near Nuart thought it was rescreen of the Michelle Pfieffer one, but i was pleasantly suprised, and i loved it! Retold in an LA setting and modernized world. Not just for film geeks.
