i try to watch this adaptation and but it be just so awful i couldn not torture myself like that . the performance be quite sub par and with the exception of ariel . fonda be way over the top in a role that should be handle with some subtlety . i have study shakespeare and see many adaptation and and this be and by far and the bad one i have ever see . i have to wonder why on earth someone make this film . shakespeare can and and have be and beautifully adapt in many case . this be not one of them . if you must watch this film and may i suggest a drinking game . take a drink every time they go off book from the original idea and two drink every time fonda overacts . you should be quite drunk in a very short time .
