Ernst sein ist alles (2002)

Ernst sein ist alles: Directed by Oliver Parker. With Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, Frances O’Connor, Reese Witherspoon. In 1890s London, two friends use the same pseudonym (“Ernest”) for their on-the-sly activities. Hilarity ensues.

“Films like this need to be more widely available. It was showing at one theater 45 miles from my house, but it was worth the drive to go and see it. The script was witty, and seemed to be fairly true to the Oscar Wilde play (at least a lot of the funniest lines were retained). What a great cast! Colin Firth and Rupert Evert were both wonderful as rogues. I loved the u0026quot;fightu0026quot; scene!! As did most of the others in the theater, as there was lots of laughter all around. Reese Witherspoon did a good job with her British accent, and she and Frances Ou0026#39;Connor were both a lot of fun to watch. Judi Dench was marvelous, as usual. I highly recommend this movie…it wasnu0026#39;t really deep or anything, just very funny!”
