Having heard of Earnest's misadventures, Cicely has developed an infatuation with the rogue, and Algernon's impersonation of him works famously on Cicely.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

better than average performance submitted by 21621031390949 on June 28, 2011, 12:12pm This is a classic romantic comedy that always amuses. This performance is better than average. It keeps the original period of the piece, but the transformation from stage to movie is well done. Visually attractive and individual performances are, again, very good.

Good Laughs submitted by Cami K on July 28, 2011, 9:01pm This movie is quite humorous. Despite being set in a different time period, the humor is still relevant today. Highlight was Rupert Everett and Colin Firth singing "Lady Come Down."

Top 10 movies submitted by Emily LB on August 8, 2021, 2:54pm I love this movie. It's short, always delivers more than its share of laughs, and moves at a brisk pace. The muffins scene can make me laugh from memory. A+
