...make for a good night in my book. Being off my anti-depressant for a week was an interesting experience. I don't know if it was the tiny white pill or the actual movie that made the following review.
So I FINALLY managed to see
Were the World Mine. Last I heard it was supposed to have come out on DVD sometime this month, but when checking on Amazon I saw that it's not until June 9. BUT I noticed that it's available for digital rental and download. So I caved and spent the 4 bucks and rented it.
Holy CRAP!
Shakespeare should only be performed in a way that is gay, campy and musically inclined. (See Hamlet 2)
It's not perfect, but sometimes you just need to take a movie for what it is and appreciate it. I also think it would work really fantastically on the stage.
The music fits it perfectly. And those fit boys in sparkly shorts aren't too bad either.
