Description

After a surviving a disaster at sea, Viola, in a foreign land, disguises herself as her identical brother, and becomes the go-between for the lovelorn Count Orsino and disinterested Lady Olivia. The disguised Viola soon discovers that Olivia isn't in love with Orsino, she's in love with Viola in disguise! Much comedic confusion ensues, as mistaken identity causes characters to fall in and out of love with other characters who are in and out of disguises, all leading to a Shakespearian happy ending where those who should be in love are, and with the correct people. Starring a phenomenal cast of British actors, including Sir Ben Kingsley ("Schindler's List"), Helena Bonham Carter ("Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"), Nigel Hawthorne ("The Madness of King George"), Mel Smith ("The Princess Bride"), Imelda Staunton ("Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"), Imogen Stubbs ("Sense and Sensibility") and Richard E. Grant ("The Player").

    This was a BEAUTIFUL movie, Shakespeare's words are breath taking. The fool, Feste is an amazing contribution to the film. I laughed, I cried, then I laughed again.
  • Good remake with some interesting touches, good acting, and some brilliant camera work.

    An interesting remake of this classic. I have seen several versions of this play, and this was overall very good. The Cornish setting is striking, and the use of 19th century uniforms and clothing was effective (though mixed in some scenes with different eras). The late Sir Nigel Hawthorne as Malvolio did a fine interpretation of the role, and put a new angle on the character. I have seen this before, and will watch it again.
  • Fantastic

    I absolutely loove this movie! It is a really good adaptation of the play, has a great soundtrack, stunning scenery, and a really good cast. I liked the original play, and this movie is an absolutely wonderful adaptation. This is definately a must-see for Shakespeare lovers (or not :D), or people who just enjoy a great comedy.
  • Great movie!

    Twelfth Night is a great rendition of a wonderful play. The actors and actresses fit their roles so well, it's like they were made for them! I can never watch this movie too much. Comedy, romance, drama, it's all wrapped up in this movie. As a great lover of Shakespeare, I can say that this is an excellent movie adaption of a Shakespeare play, that stays true to the original story. With a great movie score to add to it (which hopefully iTunes will add), this is a movie I highly recommend!

    Wow, iTunes keeps putting up more and more Helena Bonham Carter movies, which gives me hope that sometime they might put up "The Wings of the Dove", In the mean time, I will settle for this awesome movie, one of my all time favorites. So funny, and incredibly tongue in cheek
