Review For Much Ado About Nothing | |
| I enjoyed Whedon's film both as a species of stunt and also as a legitimately entertaining entry in the voluminous Shakespeare adaptation sweepstakes. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor It's a slight but smart, sweet but guiltless celebration. Kind of like what making it must have been for a director exhausted from months of wrangling a herd of superheroes. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger This Much Ado About Nothing-while perhaps not an adaptation for the ages in every respect-is as bracingly effervescent as picnic champagne. Dana Stevens-Slate Joss Whedon's "Much Ado About Nothing" is both a palate cleanser for the director and a small but savory treat for Shakespeare-starved audiences. Kenneth Turan-Los Angeles Times It definitely possesses that Whedon-esque nerdy energy, fizzing with humor, eroticism, booze and more than a hint of danger. Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com The joyous spirit of the play has been preserved in this modest, homegrown production. Joe Morgenstern-Wall Street Journal The high-concept enterprise, which uses Shakespeare's original language, never justifies its existence. Robert Levin-amNewYork Joss Whedon has taken what in lesser hands is an emotional trifle and turned it into an emotional powederkeg Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews These kids know the words, but not the music. Witney Seibold-CraveOnline Much Ado About Nothing is a faithful, pleasant and enjoyable small-scale production of Shakespeare's tale. If you are in for the experiment, you'll likely be charmed. Kofi Outlaw-ScreenRant This spirited rendition of the Bard's comedy of sexual misadventures manages to reach across the centuries by using a modern setting but never commenting on it. Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks It's a delight for Whedonites, but -- I'm sorry to say -- a rather mediocre production of Shakespeare. Ethan Alter-Television Without Pity Joss Whedon makes teen-friendly Shakespeare, with drinking. S. Jhoanna Robledo-Common Sense Media This inept modern-day version of the classic Shakespearian comedy comes across as too contrived. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice Fillion is the most lovable of big lugs (and possibly the first Shakespearean character ever to don shades). Kurt Loder-Reason Online Whedon hasn't created the best version of the tale, but he clearly understands what makes it tick. Rob Vaux-Mania.com After the initial shock of the language, the Renaissance diction sounds like what the irresistible young American actors have been speaking since day one. Craig Seligman-Bloomberg News Call it a Shakespearean catharsis or just call it a lark -- either way, the movie represents Whedon's least essential work, regardless of the material's inherent comedic inspiration.
