Butterworth B- "Full of life."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 7/10 "The greatest enjoyment of the film is for those who are familiar with Shakespeare's plays."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Dragan Antulov B+ "It is a mature, adult romantic comedy, with enough swashbuckling, humor and love scenes to keep everyone interested."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov "A beautifully realized tribute to the rush of imagination as one of the great creative force fields in the universe."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "Shakespeare in Love is not a great film, but it's an excuse to have an evening of pure enjoyment with a little culture painlessly mixed in."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/4 "Given slight twistings and tweakings for a 1990s audience, this Shakespeare is true to its inspirational muse without taking itself too seriously."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick "Delightful!"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 5/10 "Don't let the hype fool ya, cause this puppy pees just like the rest of them!"   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 4/4 "It is clear that everyone in the film is having a great time with the material, and it is contagious."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 8/10 "...it works wonderfully, giving audiences that wouldn't normally sit through an Elizabethan play the chance to understand and be amused by something fairly close."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 5 "Shakespeare in Love is a delight on every level of movie-going...This is why people go to the movies."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 4/4 "This film is very entertaining, and it's the most sophisticated and mature romance of the year."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest high +2 out of -4..+4 "One does not have to be a fan of Shakespeare to enjoy it, but bardophiles will get more out of it."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 3/4 "Hardly deserving of 13 Oscar nominations and 7 Oscars, this film is nevertheless an entertaining bit of fluff."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 9/10 "Shakespeare in Love is a comedy worthy of the Bard himself."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 9/10 "The film's humor ranges from the wonderfully intellectual to snarky movie and theater in-jokes, from sight gags to rapid-fire, reference-laden dialogue."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3.5/4 "Shakespeare has now finally arrived onscreen... in the right hands -- those of director John Madden and stars Joseph Fiennes and Gwyneth Paltrow."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 4/4 "Shakespeare in Love is one of those great movies, the kind of film that makes me clack away furiously at my keyboard, telling people just how much I loved this movie."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan 5/5 "Wastes no time setting itself up as a rowdy, colloquial piece of popular entertainment -- the furthest thing from a fussy biopic of the Bard."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 10/10 "Shakespeare in Love has to be one of the most irresistible movies I have ever seen."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten A "The matter of fact telling of just how young Will got many of his ideas is leavened with all the elements of great film and [director John] Madden balances them all with grace, style and skill."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 10/10 "At last, a juicy, funny, romantic comedy -- aimed at adults!"   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Susan Granger 3.5/4 "A sumptuous fictional glimpse into the creative mind of one of history's most brilliant theatrical minds."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell 10/10 Read review   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 31) of 31 OFCS Rating: 97% Fresh Page   1
