Hey nonny nonny, brace yourself for farce. We're talking about Diana's pick Much Ado About Nothing (1993). This movie made it onto Diana's radar as she went through her Robert Sean Leonard infatuation. Polina is quick to point out that performing Shakespeare is not a strength of Keanu Reeves. We earn our explicit tag with liberal use of the words “bastard” and “whore”. Young lovers Hero (Kate Beckinsale) and Claudio (Robert Sean Leonard), soon to wed, conspire to get verbal sparring partners and confirmed singles Benedick (Kenneth Branagh) and Beatrice (Emma Thompson) to wed as well. Also stars Denzel Washington, Keanu Reeves, Michael Keaton, Imelda Staunton, Richard Briers, Brian Blessed, and Phyllida Law.
