Avis Gachet

It was laughable at times--many times. What is there about Shakespeare---even a mention--that causes set designers to go mad with excess? I can't carp about the acting. That was the least of this film's problems. The dialogue was often jarring with a snitch of a few famous lines coming out back to back with modern talk. And how or why did we have a witch lifted from Macbeth and young, active love from Romeo and Juliet? Aarggh.
