Additional Information
In his second adaptation of an Oscar Wilde play, writer-director Oliver Parker (AN IDEAL HUSBAND) assembles a peerless cast to engage in this witty comedy of manners and mistaken identity. In 1890s London, rakish Algernon Montcrieff (Rupert Everett, who also starred in HUSBAND) runs into his friend, Jack Worthing (Colin Firth), who is in town to propose marriage to Algy's wildly romantic cousin, Gwendolen (Frances O'Connor). When returning a cigarette case to Jack, Algy reads the inscription, and discovers his friend has two secrets. Jack has created a devilish younger brother/alter ego called "Ernest" to hide his own misdeeds, and has a beautiful young ward named Cecily (Reese Witherspoon), whom he wants to keep clear of the roguish Algy. While Jack deals with the large obstacle standing between him and Gwendolen--namely, her mother, the imposing Lady Bracknell (a wonderfully imperious Judi Dench)--Algy devises a way to meet Cecily. The confusion and hilarity come to a peak when Algy arrives at Jack's country manor posing as Ernest in order to woo Cecily, and Gwendolen runs away to the country to be with Jack--whom she knows as Ernest. The stellar cast and Wilde's clever words make for genuine entertainment.

    Late-Victorian classic

    This rendition is a welcome update as the older versions, marvellous as they may be, did not present the background of Victorian high society -- financial and landed wealth, the futility of the pursuit of a "name", the shallow romanticism of the rich and idle. This version of the play goes beyond the physical stage to present actual Victorian-era mansions, with all the attendant procession of servants and maids that made life possible for the happy few. It even introduces funny running references to the main character's (Algernon's) insolvency (which is only hinted at in the play, but was quite clear for audiences at the time). In spite of introducing a few very useful hints for the modern viewer, this version does not go overboard and turn Oscar Wilde's delicate masterpiece into a vulgar ...

  • Great film

    Fantastic adaptation of Oscar Wilde's 1895 play. Absolutely hilarious. Ny brother, who is not usually a fan of period dramas absolutely loved it too. Witty, sarcastic and funny.

  • This is different but fine

    Very well done with a few variations that did not spoil the original. Casting was clever and worked. Well enjoyed.
