Hey, lighten up all ye naysayers. I never will claim to know know much about Elizabethan England, but this is one wonderful little love story made all the morest wonderful by a gaggle of wonderful contemporary thespians. I was wary of all the hype, but upon seeing the movie on video I was impressed and moved indeed. Yes, Cate Blanchett probably deserved the Best Actress statuette (in all fairness to Ms. Streep, I just can't get myself to watch another cancer movie, until at least the millenium and then maybe another), but Gwyneth is just fine and Joe Fiennes probably even better in a role that perhaps Rupert Everett might have been the best choice. Anyway, I won't go on and on, much has been said by many online contributors- but, HEY KIDDIES- LIGHTEN UP!! 4 and a half out of five on the Corkymeter. So there.
