OHOHO!!!  Don't get me started there...  Speaking of pretty people edging
out real talent....  I liked her in cameo roles -- especially Swingers --
(anyone remember "license to drive"?), but as a lead actress, forget about
it.

true, don john isn't the only flat character in the play... no matter how 
much i enjoy watching robert sean leonard, i still just /hate/ claudio. 
what a jerk. and kate beckinsale... well, she does do a good job of not 
making hero look too wussy. but i can only like those characters if i see 
them as foils for beatrice and benedick- and now i'm getting way off topic.
keanu might suck sometimes, but i don't think much ado is a good example. i 
usually try to stick up for him in anti-keanu bashing fests- not that i like

him all that much, but i don't see much reason to hate the guy. now, 
heather graham, that could be another story...
