"Much Ado About Nothing'' is a postwar love story. Its principal subject is that of romance that may settle over the land after soldiers come home. I noticed that Much Ado is actually two love stories. One concerns sweetly innocent lovers who are driven apart by the plotting of enemies. The other involves very sarcastic lovers who are swept into each other's arms by the benign machinations of friends. I had a lot of trouble understanding the dialect, I grew up a country boy and we didn't do much of this in my 14 persons graduating class. None the less I didn't think it was a waste of time either.

ust as he has done in any other theatrical movies that I have seen him in.

But in the lesser role of the prince's evil half brother, Keanu Reeves didn't appear to be all that special, at times he did look evil but I have never been a big fan of Keanu's acting.
