Filmology Rating: 2.75 out of 4

 

I enjoy Shakespeare’s writing. I enjoy modern adaptations of Shakespeare's works.  Much Ado About Nothing is a modern-day retelling of the classic Shakespeare play by the same name.  This adaptation was enjoyable, and did follow the original exactly.  The movie follows four people who see life and love differently, but all have sharp tongues and quick wits, and their interactions with each other and surrounding friends and family.  Beatrice and Benedick, played by Amy Acker and Alexis Denisof respectively, are skeptical of love, while Claudio and Hero, played by Fran Kranz and Jillian Morgese, believe in love and its beauty.  The dialogue is of course quick and entertaining, if you can follow along with the Shakespearean.  The acting was good, and very fitting for each role.  Watching this at home might be a little easier than in a theater, however.
