    For my money the most gloriously, enchantingly trivial play in the Shakespearean canon, A Midsummer Night's Dream may also be the most screwup-proof of the bard's works.

    One of the best of the many delights of director Michael Hoffman's new film -- is that he manages to have it both ways -- the gauzy fantasy and the bacchanal.

    Hoffman (Soapdish, One Fine Day) leads a first-rate cast in an intelligent, fully realized adaptation of Shakespeare's most popular comedy that's at once highly cinematic and true to its source.

    Uneven but spunkily energetic movie.

    Beautifully entertaining take on Shakespeare's play, laced with Italian opera and marvelous performances, by Kline and Flockhart particularly. The giddy poetry rolls on and on and what Pffeifer might lack in delivery she makes up for in lovestruck appeal. Bravo.… Expand

    Boring, lame and dull. It's so goddamn long (since it is so boring), with irritating voices and a stupid plot. There are no funny scenes, no action scenes, NOTHING. Just a complete dull movie. My score: 42/100… Expand
