Branagh and Love's Labour's Lost all but will themselves into liftoff. They achieve it, and in doing so, they somehow make it right to our pleasure centers with their generous embrace of stardust and pizazz.

The writer-director has come up with a sumptuous, happy piece of fluff.

It's never hugely engaging and it's instantly forgettable, but it has a certain goofy charm.

It's all very colorful, but the movie's diverse elements clash as often as they cooperate.

Branagh has cut, pasted and aggressively abridged Love's Labour's Lost, and piled it high with fancy visuals to make sure we get the drift.
20
It ought to be delightful, but it isn't.
10
Misguided version of one of the Bard's best comedies.
