About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a boisterous, colorful Shakespeare comedy with big personalities and constant sparring, especially if you liked Romeo and Juliet; Not for you if you’re sensitive to dated marriage dynamics or want subtle, low-key humor.

Pros: lively Shakespearean banter; lavish period look; strong lead chemistry | Cons: uneven pacing; humor can feel forced; dated gender politics
