Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With soft box office and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for anyone in the mood for a love story and people who need a good giggle. Easy company after a long day. A good follow-up to Is This Thing On?.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 2 hr 7 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Witty, playful and utterly magical, the story is a compelling romantic adventure in which Rosalind and Orlando's celebrated courtship is played out against a backdrop of political rivalry, banishment and exile in the Forest of Arden - set in 19th-century Japan.
