Triumphant winner of 7 Academy Awards - including Best Picture - this witty, sexy smash features Oscar-winning Best Actress Gwyneth Paltrow (Sliding Doors, A Perfect Murder) and an amazing cast that includes Academy Award winners Judi Dench (Best Supporting Actress), Geoffrey Rush (Best Actor - Shine) and Ben Affleck (Armageddon; Best Original Screenplay - Good Will Hunting)!
Synopsis: Witty romantic comedy about The Bard's struggles with a nothing love life and paralyzing daunting writer's block until he finds his muse in a cross-dressing young actress. As she's promised to a lord, the two risk a clandestine affair, leading to plenty of costume changes, bed hopping and sword play.
