Great performances by the entire cast, and the humor felt more modern than the script.
This movie was surprisingly funny and had a lot of goofy antics that kept it enjoyable
Judi Dench is the best part of this adaptation, but everything is pretty funny and nice
Perfectly captures the wit of the original play while tastefully adding some sight gags to enhance the humor. The whole cast is on point.
Loved tbe dialogue but I feel the pacing near the end is a bit weird.
Individual lines from this movie have more wit and sass than most movies can hope to muster in their entire run-time.
It's a great adaptation to the witty play written by Oscar Wilde.
Really enjoyed this adaptation. Rupert Everett gets a special shout for a memorable performance.
Quirky and cute romance. The characters are quick witted and entertaining
It is absolutely true to Oscar Wilde’s genius and even embellishes the script, which is hard to do well.
