Plot Synopsis
Shakespeare In Love is a mixture of comedy, drama and romance set in Elizabethan England. It is a fictional look at a young Will Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) with writers block and a beautiful Lady Viola (Gwyneth Paltrow) who becomes not only his muse but his love interest. Alas Shakespeare is already married, but it is only a marriage on paper. Lady Viola is also set for an arranged marriage by her family to the Lord Wessex Colin Firth who she detests. As Shakespeare slowly unravels his play Romeo and Juliet, he realizes that his true love cannot die, but can only be separated by distance.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138097/synopsis -

Reviews
"The movie serves as a reminder that Will Shakespeare was once a young playwright on the make, that theater in all times is as much business as show, and that "Romeo and Juliet" must have been written by a man in intimate communication with his libido."—Roger Ebert Chicago Sun Timeshttp://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19981225/REVIEWS/812250306/1023"...a well-produced, cleverly scripted, beautifully designed and superbly performed film: earthy, hearty and full-bloodedly entertaining. Bill the Bard would have been proud."—Tiscali.ukhttp://www.tiscali.co.uk/entertainment/film/reviews/shakespeare_in_love.html
