Moliere is a down-and-out actor and playwright who is up to his ears in debt. The wealthy Jourdain offers to cover that debt so that Molière's theatrical talents might help Jourdain win the heart of a certain widowed marquise. Disguised as a priest, Molière becomes a guest in Jourdain's palace on the subtext of teaching Jourdain the craft of the stage, all this to the annoyance of Jourdain's wife, Elmire. But, soon after, the confrontation between Elmire and Molière turns seductive. Jourdain enlists the aid of a well-connected and scheming acquaintance to help him pursue the widowed marquise.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

not as good submitted by kkachado on January 11, 2010, 3:38pm The previews for the movie were better than the actual movie. Not bad but glad I didn't pay to see it.

Moliere submitted by erksnerks on July 15, 2011, 8:16pm Whacky plot and premise, nice costumes. Worthy of a rainy afternoon.

Fun! submitted by Rachel S. on July 1, 2013, 10:49pm I enjoyed this film a lot. I loved how it weaved the different story lines of Moliere's plays together, and some scenes are downright hilarious.
