With his wedding a week away, Claudio can't wait to marry the beautiful young Hero. To distract him, his best friend Don Pedro devises mischief: a romantic trap for the sharp-tongued Beatrice and the man she loves to hate, Benedick. Their amusement is almost spoiled by the jealous scheming of Don John, but love and laughter prevail when the local constable unwittingly exposes the plot--and all the trouble proves to be much ado about nothing (111 min.).
DVD; Dolby digital; widescreen.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Great Adaptation submitted by Rachel S. on July 1, 2013, 10:43pm I love this version of Much Ado about Nothing. Great acting, beautiful setting, lots of laughs. Worth checking out just for the hilarious scenes where Beatrice and Benedick are fooled by their friends into thinking each is in love with the other.

Funny and accessible! submitted by Beatlesfan04 on July 13, 2018, 2:55pm All of the actors are so wonderful and make Shakespeare accessible. This is a great version and I highly recommend it! You'll laugh and enjoy it!

Well done! submitted by thesrays on August 2, 2018, 1:32pm A great cinematic romp through Shakespeare's best loved comedy! Worthy of emulation!

Favorite version! submitted by edb.blanchard on August 9, 2018, 10:38am This version is absolutely my favorite and got me hooked on Shakespeare at a young age.

Good submitted by zmclaugh on July 15, 2019, 9:14pm A classic film version of this play.

Oh, back before Emma tired of Kenneth. submitted by lisa on July 18, 2019, 4:12pm Fun. Fun stuff.

I love the setting submitted by ccrose on August 29, 2019, 9:57pm The classic hillside villa was a great choice because the gardens and woods made good backdrops. The singing and dancing outdoors felt exactly right for the lighthearted teasing . I enjoyed Michael Keaton. What a character! I saw old traces of Beetlejuice’ snarky self.
