Watch movie theater Shakespeare in Love William Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) is on a cold streak. Not only is he writing for Philip Henslowe (Geoffrey Rush), owner of "The Rose," a theatre whose doors are about to be closed by sadistic creditors, but he's got a nasty case of writer's block. Shakespeare hasn't written a hit in years. In fact, he hasn't written much of anything recently. Thus, the Bard finds himself in quite a bind when Henslowe, desperate to stave off another round of hot-coals-to-feet application, stakes The Rose's solvency on Shakespeare's new comedy, "Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter." The problem is, "Romeo" is safely "locked away" in Shakespeare's head, which is to say that not a word of it is written. Meanwhile, the lovely Lady Viola (Gwyneth Paltrow) is an ardent theatre-goer -- scandalous for a woman of her breeding -- who especially admires Shakespeare's plays and, not incidentally, Bill himself. Alas, she's about to be sold as property into a loveless marriage by her mercenary father and shipped off to a Virginia tobacco plantation. But not before dressing up as a young man and winning the part of Romeo in the embryonic play. Shakespeare soon discovers the deception and goes along with it, using the blossoming love affair to ignite his muse. As William and Viola's romance grows in intensity and spirals towards its inevitable culmination, so, too, does the farcical comedy about Romeo and pirates transform into the timeless tragedy that is Romeo and Juliet. ~ Merle Bertrand, Rovi You Can Watch Movie Online Streaming in HD from HERE Release Date Shakespeare in Love Dec 25, 1998 Wide Genres Shakespeare in Love : Comedy,Romance

Review For Shakespeare in Love
A ripely emotional comedy-fantasia. David Denby-New Yorker Accessible, entertaining and fun for modern audiences. Exquisitely acted, tightly directed and impressively assembled, this lively period piece is the kind of arty gem with potentially broad appeal that Miramax certainly knows how to sell. Lael Loewenstein-Variety It's easy to suspend disbelief and embrace this historically creative fiction, whose clever relationship to what's known and what's unresolved is part of what makes it so intriguing and so romantic. Lisa Alspector-Chicago Reader It's Tom Stoppard's witty, intelligent script which proves so satisfying. Derek Adams-Time Out It's a literary burlesque, remarkably clever and quick on its feet. It is ardently romantic but is at its best when it is funny. And it's funny. Jeff Millar-Houston Chronicle Seems the Bard is badly blocked. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail Entertaining, witty and acutely funny, with the ability to appeal to more than Shakespeare buffs. But for real fans of the Bard, it's a glorious treat that's smart and humorous, with highly appealing performances all round. -Total Film A brilliant and witty script by Tom Stoppard is brought to life by a great cast. Scott Nash-Three Movie Buffs A cleverly scripted reworking of a period comedy. -Film4 Wastes no time setting itself up as a rowdy, colloquial piece of popular entertainment -- the furthest thing from a fussy biopic of the Bard. Rob Gonsalves-eFilmCritic.com It is clear that everyone in the film is having a great time with the material, and it is contagious. Joe Lozito-Big Picture Big Sound Henslowe may be onto something when he jokes that all audiences want is love and a bit with the dog, but this film delivers much more. Sandra Contreras-TV Guide's Movie Guide A sumptuous fictional glimpse into the creative mind of one of history's most brilliant theatrical minds. Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight A rare crowd pleasing movie that's smartly written and splendidly acted, representing a combination of poetry, art, and entertainment that does justice to the Bard's own comedies. Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com It's the performances which push this to a very high level. Garth Franklin-Dark Horizons Shakespeare in Love moves fast, and may deserve multiple viewings. It's a delicious feast of lowbrow and highbrow mixed with romance. Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid The matter of fact telling of just how young Will got many of his ideas is leavened with all the elements of great film and [director John] Madden balances them all with grace, style and skill. Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews Although Shakespeare in Love benefits from a delightful screenplay by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard -- and a flattering one, for viewers who can congratulate themselves on recognizing this or that tatter of the Bard -- the film's virtues peter out. Stuart Klawans-The Nation It has powerful language and a wealth of talent as its distinguishing marks, but it shies away, curiously, from poetry, subtlety, and art whenever the lovers embrace, and we're left with no heroes or heroines worth swooning for. Jeffrey Overstreet-Looking Closer A nothing movie. Gossamer-thin, the slightest breeze will blow it from our collective memories. Martin Scribbs-Low IQ Canadian The greatest enjoyment of the film is for those who are familiar with Shakespeare's plays. Dragan Antulov-rec.arts.movies.reviews
