In this Shakespearean farce, Hero and her groom-to-be, Claudio, team up with Claudio's commanding officer, Don Pedro, the week before their wedding to hatch a matchmaking scheme. Their targets are sharp-witted duo Benedick and Beatrice -- a tough task indeed, considering their corresponding distaste for love and each other. Meanwhile, meddling Don John plots to ruin the wedding.
| nudity | There is a group bathing and dressing scene near the beginning (during the opening credits) that cuts back and forth between the men's baths and dressing room and the women's showers and dressing room and which contains both male and female rear nudity, including some brief glimpses of male genitalia, and some very brief views of the sides of women's breasts. < |
| violence | None. |
| profanity | Little by modern standards. Some Elizabethan-era oaths are uttered. "Ass" roughly 7 times, "Bastard" once or twice. |
| alcohol | There is a party scene where the wine flows abundantly. |
| frightening | Claudio is grief stricken when he is made to believe that Hero has died, but even his grief is not that intense. Hero bursts into tears when Claudio denounces her earlier, but there is nothing very intense in the film at all. |
