Editorial Reviews "...This particular Shakespearean romp qualifies as a winning example of actors stepping outside their usual personas and scoring a knockout." Movieline - pp.34-5 - Stephen Farber
"...The film ends with a long, sweetly melancholic sequence....You leave the theater tipsy on Shakespeare's raillery and Ira Gershwin's wit, as though you'd had a glass or two of cheap champagne..." New York Times - p.E12 - A. O. Scott
"...[The film features] Natascha McElhone's typically striking presence..." USA Today - p.11E - Mike Clark
"...A luscious labor of love....The overall effect is knowing and joyful at the same time..." Variety - p.36-7 - Derek Elley
"...The intimate moments often sparkle. Nivola, Lester and McElhone display a lovely ease..." Rolling Stone - p.140 - Peter Travers
