I laughed at how unoriginal, and bland it was.

-------------------------------------------

Unoriginal? Please name three films prior to it that it copied...or just two.

I did notice that the amount of laughter in the theater was divided into two groups, those who had read (as in studied and know) Shakespeare and those who had not. I'd quess that at least 25% of the humor went right over the heads of everybody in the latter group.

Two of the grand old men of literary criticism: Harold Bloom and I.H. Abrahms liked it as well. So did Lynn Cheney (who, as everyone knows, has a PHD in Engligh Literature).

does the fact that they were sued for copying other scripts count? Ever heard of Dark Lady of the Sonnets?
