Absolutely one of my favourite ever Shakespeare adaptations. It's by no means perfect, but "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is one of my favourite Shakespeare plays, and this film captures the essence of the play so well. Excellent.

The most of the cast did not have decent room to act except Kevin Kline who was hilarious. From the story I liked only the not-that-well-rehearsaled ending theatre act. The dream itself was pretty out of it's place, but it was worth to see Anna Friel in her undergarment and wrestling in mud with an another girl!

Had to watch for school, was pretty good though surprisingly enough.

Sexy telling of Shakespeare's classic story. Drags on too much by the end Otherwise, the acting is hit or average. Brings excitement to the table.

Passable as a Shakespeare adaptation. There are a few impressive sequences, the cast is loaded, and Kline shines as Bottom, but considering the play is one of the Bard's more fantasy-influenced scripts, there's not a lot of imagination here. It's quite dry, and this adaptation does little to play up the comedy in the material. Tucci as Puck for example, should be great fun -- but much like the movie itself, he fails to deliver on the potential. The play within the play is great. The rest? Meh.

Even though I have very little appreciation for plays, this Shakespearean adaptation was the first moment I knew Pfeiffer would forever be a fave of mine. I enjoyed it.

An alright performance of one of Shakespeare's lighter comedies. For some reason gave me a desire to eat yogurt.

Considering I hate the play, this score is generous.

The play at the end elevates this film to passable.

Good adaptataion, but really, you can say that baout most of them - we didn't need another one.

not easy to follow

This fantasy film based on the play by Shakespeare is floaty and whimsical. Most of the actors are great for their roles, and the use of visual effects gives it something that a stage performance couldn't have. It might not be how some would interpret the play, but hey, that's how drama works. Pretty good!

Shakespeare at its plum silliest!
