Amazon.com:
Kenneth Branagh's 1993 production of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing is a vigorous and imaginative work, cheerful and accessible for everyone. Largely the story of Benedick (Branagh) and Beatrice (Emma Thompson)--adversaries who come to believe each is trying to woo the other--the film veers from arched wit to ironic romps, and the two leads don't mind looking a little silly at times. But the plot is also layered with darker matters that concern the ease with which men and women fall into mutual distrust. Branagh has rounded up a mixed cast of stage vets and Hollywood stars, among the latter Denzel Washington and Michael Keaton, the latter playing a rather seedy, Beetlejuice-like version of Dogberry, king of malapropisms. The DVD release has optional full-screen and widescreen presentations, Dolby sound, optional Spanish and French soundtracks or subtitles.--Tom Keogh

I suspect the amount of enjoyment one receives out of this film is probably inversely proportional to how well one knows the play. Visual cues and musical swells often move the plot along instead of dialog or spoken exposition, Branagh working from a text that seems to encompass about half the original material. All of this combines to create a sort of pastiche of the best bits of the play where it's difficult to really get emotionally involved. The pace of the original play, for example, curiously ...

Kenneth Branagh makes Shakespeare fun. The cast in this rendition of 'Much Ado About Nothing' is superb. From quirky to funny, angry to happy, each character has their part to play and each does it magnificently. Even Michael Keaton's small part was very memorable and hilarious for the short time he was on screen. I would highly recommend this film to anyone looking to enjoy a Shakespearean drama, or anyone just looking to watch a wonderful film.

Very Shakespeare meets Jane Austen meets...`Mama Mia', `Much Ado About Nothing' is in the very least an interesting feat. It has elements that work and elements that don't, and while certain parts (or at least one part) of this film are spellbinding, as a whole I don't really feel I can agree with the consensus (who seem to really, really love this movie).
The film is a hodgepodge of matchmaking, lover's quarrels and deceitful jealousies, and while Shakespearian legend Kenneth Branagh ... Read More

This is a mostly light-hearted romp. Boy meets girl, boy looses girl and finally boy gets girl back. The story is timeless, The whole cast was amazing. Recommend it highly.
There is a reason why Master Shakespeare endures - he speaks to everyone.
