About this product
Product Information
When gallant Don Pedro (Denzel Washington), his nefarious brother Don John (Keanu Reeves), and close confidantes Claudio (Robert Sean Leonard) and Benedick (Kenneth Branagh) ride thunderously into the Sicilian village of Messina, romance, gaiety, and suspicion abound. The men have returned safely from a war, and soon everyone in the sun-drenched villa is abuzz with thoughts of love. Claudio, enamored of the purity of the nubile Hero (Kate Beckinsale), entreats Don Pedro to woo the maiden on his behalf that evening at a masked ball. Once he's managed the successful betrothal of Hero to Claudio, Don Pedro has another plot in mind: he plans to trick Hero's bantering cousin Beatrice (Emma Thompson) and sworn bachelor Benedick into acknowledging they've fallen in love. Meanwhile, the villainous Don John, driven by contempt for his compatriots, has hatched a plot of his own: to fool Claudio and Don Pedro into believing Hero is unchaste. The plot works perfectly: sensitive but volatile Claudio denounces her publicly on their wedding day. All seems lost, and soon the attempts to set things right include a formal duel, a scheming friar, a mock memorial and a gaggle of bumbling constables. With its excellent cast and beautiful Tuscan backdrop, director Kenneth Branagh's film is a light-hearted adaptation of yet another of Shakespeare's great plays.Product Identifiers

A brilliantiantly funny tragic comedy based on variety of Shakesprarean plays This is a classic not to be missed.
A brilliant tragic comedy based on variety of Shakesprarean plays using cunning, wit and hilarious plots. I saw this movie when it was released as a young teenager and watched it with my own family and teenage daughters. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to all for general viewing.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Watch it and fall in love with seeing others fall in love
The ultimate feel-good movie of a wonderful play. Kenneth Branagh's star-studded cast performing this classic text in the beautiful scenery of Tuscany is joyous. The screenplay is passionate and so easy to understand; it is full of drama, passion and absolute happiness. Years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Richard Briers [Leonato] and discussed the film with him - he said it was the happiest production on which he had ever worked - and it shows. Watch it and fall in love with seeing others fall in love. Timeless.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

One of the best film versions of the bard.
Great production, Great Cast. Great performances. Great Script (who wrote it anyway?) I've seen it several times and love it. Not for people who like their Shakespeare in modern dress and set on the New York subway.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
