This version of A Midsummer Night's Dream is truly engaging...I found myself getting swept into this world...it was nice. It also helped matters that Michelle Pfeifer and Calista Flockhart are both beautiful.

A Midsummer Night's Dream is about many confused lovers. One loves another and another loves another. It is also about love at first sight. This is only because a fairy put spell on people to make this happen. But, I must say that A Midsummer Night's Dream is really a good movie.

An author still alive, for almost 400 years, is still with us, and his name is William Shakespeare. All his pieces are great, but this most recent movie-comedie, is outstanding. He combines idiocy with love with comedy all at once, making it spectacular. I saw the movie and read the book and both are just about equal, so if you don't like to read, just go to the movie. So, the last thing I want to say is GET IT!

I simply do not, cannot and will not understand how anyone can do anything but love A Midsummer Night's Dream. Shakespeare is Shakespeare, and after reading or enacting this play, any foolish mortal can see why he has stuck around for so long, inspiring, haunting and getting raucous laughs and sighs out of many completely different generations. The language is beatiful, and for anyone who is mistaken, Shakespeare is not old English. He is not middle English. That's right, he's an older kind of modern English, and after you get into his rythym, it is not hard to comprehend in the least. Shakespeare is a magic that picks you up and mercifully and marvously refuses to let go of you. Shakespeare is a passion which swirls around in so many different ways, just to jump up behind you to startle and surprise you when you thought you got him down. Shakespeare is the genius who knows more than anyone about the human character, and what he does not know he revels in the mystery of not knowing. In a Midsummer Night's Dream, Shakespeare is at his witty, sophisticated, passionate, knowing and romantic best, and anyone who has a heart which beats must read or see it for their own good.

A mid Summer NIght's dream is a great Shakespearian comedy, but the plot was kind of cunfusing.

I had to read this book for school and at first was totally lost. But, after I understood the book more I really liked it. I haven't read any more shakespere but after that book I plan to.
