Nice..Funny Rendition of Shakespeare's ..Dream

And if your a raver.. it'll bring back fond memories

That is if you can still remember..

Well this movie should clarify the blur.

Enjoy!

Just curious as to what you liked about it. I found it quite awful actually.. except for Puck (who was funny). I was a raver *back in tha day* and I never went to one as cheeseball as that. But again, just like to hear what you liked :)

If I could have any job in the world I'd be a professional Cinderella.

yeah, now to think about it, Puck was good but the film was still a trainwreck. This is solid proof that you shouldn't go overboard while trying to postmodernize Shakespeare's works.

I agree with the other reply'ers. This is a pathetic attempt at making a new slant on Shakespeare... but if you're into the rave scene and can overlook the attempt at remake, it's a good representation of some of the rave culture.
I'd like to see a whole movie with nothing but the actual rave environment. there are enough rave enthusiasts who would purchase something like that that they don't need to come up with some kind of weird storyline to justify it.
Just make two hours worth of hardcore rave environment with hardcore jams and it would sell steadily for years.

i totally agree with you, but nobody seems to want to make a 2-hour flick of raving people.

until someone does, this is one of my favourite rave movies, it just "flows" so well.
