Basically the cast of Horrible Histories (and Damian Lewis and Helen McCrory) present the fictional early years of William Shakespeare's life.

 

Pretty fun film, some of the jokes fell a little but flat but there were a fair few funny adult jokes in their too, good job as well because their were loads of just adult couples going to watch this in the cinema yesterday :lol: Glad Baynton got the main character too, always been my favourite of the HH cast (Jim Howick too so yay at him being in it a lot as well). Overall a fun film but kind of felt a bit too cheap to be on the big screen as it clearly lacked the big Hollywood budget that the other films do, I wouldn't really bother paying a full price ticket for this but go watch it for sure if you have some spare time and are a fan of Horrible Histories :D

It was good-natured, amiable, well-written but the odd style got a bit wearying after a while, cos, no matter how amusing bits of it might be, other bits fell flat and there's still the over-riding problem of lack of involvement in the caricatures - not really in-depth characters (not meant to be) so not really fussed about what happens to them, you just appreciate individual multiple performances by the cast. I liked King Phil of Spin myself.... :lol:
