"Shakespeare in Love(R)-So women couldn't perform on stage, but they'd let two dudes kiss? Queen rules! 8/10 fake flavor-savers."
Man, did I have this one wrong. First of all, this was not on my Netflix queue for those of you wondering. When offered a stack of movies free-of-charge, how is a twitty movie reviewer to decline? I heard this was a comedy, so I started with it. I was pleasantly surprised by the portrayal of 16th century "Hollywood", what with its "studio" rivalry, "censorship" politics, and the like. Comedy aside, in perusing the DVD extras, a set of Shakespearean facts informs that most of the movie was actually pretty accurate. I'm pretty sure the only reason it got an 'R' rating was the boobies. Nicely done. The movie, not the boobies. Well, those were nice, too.
