romantic comedies ("As...more |

| Shakespeare in Love is a delightful romantic comedy with a literary
twist. A fictionalized account of a few months of Shakespeare's life,
the film manages to humanize the greatest English writer of all time,
and delivers a splendid time while doing it. more |

at times. At first I thought all the hype was too much to live up...more |
