A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a comedy play by William Shakespeare. It was adapted into a film by Michael Hoffman, who also wrote the screenplay.

The film received generally positive reviews for the performances. The critics praised the work of Kevin Kline, who plays Bottom, Calista Flockhart, who plays Helena, Stanley Tucci as Puck, and Rupert Everett as Oberon.

The romance of the youngsters of the city, the ego wars of the fairy king and queen, and the hapless Bottom who is turned into a donkey.

These are all we can expect and enjoy in the film. However, the choppy and unimaginative direction was panned by all critics.

Aladdin is a live-action film that retells the folktale of Aladdin from One Thousand and One Nights. This Arabian Nights folktale was earlier made as an animated film, and it was hugely successful with Robin Williams as the Genie.

There was a heavy weight of expectation to live up to those standards. The film was co-written and directed by Guy Ritchie.

It became the ninth highest-grossing film of 2019. The critics praised the work of the lead actors who played Genie, Aladdin, and Princess Jasmine.

However, Disney drew flak for introducing a new character, Prince Anders, as a prospective suitor. The role was of a Caucasian man, and it angered fans who wanted a purely Middle Eastern cast.

The Age of Adaline is a drama that revolves around an immortal woman who runs away from romance as she fears discovery.

The film was written by J. Mills Goodloe and Salvador Paskowitz. The Age of Adaline received positive reviews for the performance of Blake Lively and Harrison Ford.

The critics were not happy about the story, and they felt that the subject of immortality was treated very lightly and lacked the depth shown in other films with this theme.

However, they also said that the superb acting of Lively and Ford elevated the film. A woman born at the start of the 20th century dies in a motoring accident but is revived by a freak lightning strike.

This renders her ageless and also attracts the attention of two FBI agents. Fearing discovery as an immortal, she begins to change her identity periodically and runs away as soon as she falls in love with someone.

The story starts with a pregnant maid of the Wilhern family committing suicide after the young master of the family refuses to marry her.

The maid’s mother puts a curse on the family that the next daughter of the family will be born with a pig face till she finds love from “one of her own kind”.

After generations, a daughter is born into the family, and the curse is activated. The family misunderstands the curse as the love of people of the same stature as their family, but what it means is a mystery.

The great-great-grandfather is amazed by the present-day world and falls in love with the ex-girlfriend of the physicist. She also loves him back but being a practical person, she sees no future for them. In the end, does love prevail or does the practical and logical nature prevail?

Shallow Hal is a movie by the Farrelly brothers. They co-wrote the story along with Sean Moynihan. The film was successful at the box office, but the critics felt the film was not up to the usual standard of the Farrelly brothers.

It was, however, sweeter and more romantic with blander jokes. Hal is an up-and-coming executive who has an unhappy personal life.

He gets rejected by every girl he dates, saying that he is shallow and superficial. Due to a chance encounter, a life coach hypnotizes Hal to see the inner beauty of a woman rather than their appearance.

This triggers a change in the quality of life for Hal. He meets a morbidly obese Rosie but sees her for the beautiful soul she is and falls in love with her.

Mirror Mirror is a retelling of the fairy tale Snow White collected by the Brothers Grimm. The film was directed by Tarsem Singh and has a very stylized, dark, and engaging look.

There was a healthy dose of CGI work in the film, and it also received an Oscar nomination for Best Costume Design.

In this version of Snow White, the evil stepmother locks away Snow White to usurp the throne, and she has a greed for power and wealth.

The Mirror holds the image of the Mirror Queen, and the evil stepmother casts her spells with her help. In contrast to the original story, Snow White is not put to sleep by a poisoned apple where the Prince has to save her.

We see Snow White save the Prince from the ploy of the stepmother to usurp his kingdom as well.

The film is a black comedy with a central theme of love in an increasingly material world. A Life Less Ordinary was a box office dud, and the critics panned the hackneyed script.

Two angels in heaven are given an ultimatum to ensure love between two unlikely humans. The angels come down to earth and set in place a plan for the unemployed janitor to meet a wealthy heiress to kidnap her.

The plan was that the couple falls in love during the ordeal. However, all the struggles and roadblocks make the film a comedy.
