Synopsis

A labour of love for director Joss Whedon, this critically lauded, modern-dress adaptation of Shakespeare's play features a starry cast, all linked to Whedon's past work. Alexis Denisof is Benedick, cynical about love and marriage, sparring with Beatrice, a witty singleton who disdains romance. But then they fall victim to a plot to bring them together. Shot in 12 days at the director's own house, this is a fast-moving delight that's a must for students of Shakespeare and lovers of smart romantic comedies.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."

- Marlon Perkins, Teacher, Whitstable and Seasalter Endowed CofE Junior School, Kent
