As the movie progresses toward a student production of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," the better it gets. There is enough music to warrant classifying it as a musical of sorts, but the real objective of the film is to offer a lesson in the many ways in which love dares to speak its name. After a bullied gay member of the rugby team gets the lead (Puck) in the play, he and his ethereal teacher discover that the play's powerful floral elixir can turn anyone gay. After the town homophobes, including the rugby team, are taught a lesson by being queer for a spell, the community is a better place. A simplistic but sweet twist on any midsummer night.
score 6/10
