A very good adaptation of William Shakespeare’s comedy starring and directed by Kenneth Branagh. It’s in that Shakespearian English, but most people should get the general idea what’s going on. "Much Ado About Nothing" is bright, cheery and most enjoyable with good stars and great performances. This is Branagh’s second directorial effort, the first being Henry V (1989) and followed by Hamlet (1996).
