Much Ado About Nothing
A modern retelling of Shakespeare's classic comedy about two pairs of lovers with different takes on romance and a way with words. While Don Pedro tries to trick Benedick and Beatrice into falling in love, Don John tries to tear Claudio and Hero apart.

This new adaptation of the Shakespearean play is very odd looking, like a modern film done on the cheap, in an ancient language, viewed on a 60-year-old television set.

More familiar than fresh, but no less amusing. Whedon uses Shakespeare to remind audiences that the problems that existed in the seventeenth century remain relevant and embedded in the human heart.

But it is the dark side of Much Ado-everything associated with the smearing of Hero's reputation and her lover Claudio's savage rejection of her-that emerges most forcefully here

Loose, enjoyable, and sparkling, it's a movie that lives for the sound of clinking wine glasses and snappy patter.

The wine flows freely throughout the film, and likely, all through production too.

This fast and loose independent production is enjoyable as a home movie, but not much more.

It's a private party, for Whedon fans only.

Much Ado About Nothing is a delightfully spirited romp, filled with visual splendor, strong performances and flashes of post-modern absurdity.

A delightful mix of the modern and the Elizabethan, a sort of do-it-yourself re-imagination of a true comic classic.

There's no fire, and where their lines should ricochet with wit, they just spill forth, affably.

The magic holds. It holds from beginning to end.

The movie swings along, with a grace denied to some of Whedon's grander projects ...
