Young Shakespeare is forced to stage his latest comedy, "Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter," before it's even written. When a lovely noblewoman auditions for a role, they fall into forbidden love -- and his play finds a new life (and title). As their relationship progresses, Shakespeare's comedy soon transforms into tragedy.

Movie Parental Guide

nudity The movie is in part about an adulterous affair. A couple is shown undressing and making love (or starting to) on three occasions. They are seen in various states of undress, kissing passionately. In all three, Gwyneth Paltrow's breasts and nipples are shown clearly. In one of the scenes, the sex is implied by the sound of the creaking bed. A character is shown in two sex scenes with different partners (fully clothed in both). In one scene, the woman is on top thrusting violently and explicity while panting heavily. While no actual nudity, it is still quite explicit. The scene is quite lengthy, however, it is more for comical effect. Many passionate kisses.
violence A man is shown bound with his shoes on burning coals. He is threatened with having his nose and ears cut off with a knife. One man threatens another with a knife at his throat. There are two sword fights. The first turns into a brawl in which people also punch and kick as well as hit one another with wooden props. The second is between only two men with sword, dagger, and foil.One man ends up with a bloody wound on his head. A boy teases a cat with a live mouse held by the tail.
profanity The S-word is used twice along with a couple of slang anatomical terms and some Elizabethan swearing.
alcohol There are three scenes set in a tavern where drinking and drunkenness ensue.
frightening None
