The Importance of Being Earnest (2002) - Trailer

[themustardbaron]

Why use 'Mr Action Movie' for the voice on this trailer?

[beatboxbenton626]

saw it. soooooooooooooo boring!

[blinkenlightsmagic]

@beatboxbenton626 I trust your post will encourage conversation. One wants something that will encourage conversation, particularly at the end of the season when every one has practically said whatever they had to say, which, in most cases, was probably not much.

This is the next play that my school is doing and I just got the part of Gwendolyn! I'm so excited for it (:

[TheLightsandcandy]

the trailer sucks compaired to the movie! the movie is so freaking good. my drama class watched it today. we are doing Importance for our next play and im Cecily!

[WeirdMaRy91]

@TheLightsandcandy yes, i have to admit actually this is not one of the best movie trailers ^^'

but the movie it's GREAT =) always cheer up when i watch it!

cool, you're doing the play!!

[XxRynethxX]

This version looks so shit. Not funny at all.

[ZuviosGemini]

I may be a woman but in my English class I made a damn good Algy. XDD Me and my friend Randy (who played Jack) tore that play apart with our awesomeness!

[TheAnnabellelovely]

This movie was really funny, i watched it in my english class :)

A HANNNNNDBAGGGGG

[angeltosome]

Where's Jim Varney?

[sweetkagome99]

wow in drama i was gwendolen. gosh i had a lot to memorize

[phantomoftheopera346]

@sweetkagome99 me too.. she talks WAY too much..

[imgoodatthings]

This movie was atrocious. Almost as bad as Shallow Hal.

[krispykritterlover]

This movie is classy. It's a brilliant adaptation. Love it.

[stupidintellect90]

eeeek... i'm probably one of the 2% of women who find colin firth not all that, Everett as Jack, perfect, just as i imagined what Jack would look like but Firth as Algernon...they should have gotten someone else. btw the way, the men are supposed to be in their late 20s...it really irritates me when the casting not done properley...if a new adaptation was to be made then Ben Barnes would make a good Jack and Hugh Dancy as Algernon.

[WeirdMaRy91]

@stupidintellect90 ...Actually...in this movie Colin Firth is Jack and Rupert Everett is the perfect Algernon!! =)

[stupidintellect90]

@WeirdMaRy91 ha, what a silly mistake! i haven't watched it yet but in that case Firth seems a better choice for Jack and i can imagine Everett acting brilliantly as Algernon.

[WeirdMaRy91]

@stupidintellect90 =) don't worry!!! well, Rupert Everett IS The Perfect Dandy... it seems acting as Algy is almost natural for him... I love his work in Earnest... he's wonderful!! and Firth does a briliant work as Jack, making the character shy, and sweet =) i admit i haven't wached other movie versions of Earnest, so i can't say if there's something better than this movie! have you watched another movie??

anyway, if you have time, watch this one, 90 mins of funny movie at least =)=)

[StarFiireGal]

@stupidintellect90 Actually, Jack is in his thirties.

[rskopec7]

My school is doing a play of this too! I play, Rev. Canon Chasuble!

[1TinyDanc3r6]

My high school is putting on a production of this play and I'm so excited to be a part of this! This is wonderful and I appreciate the trailer to get a taste of it. Thanks so much!

[2Juicy4Tuti]

'To loose one parent is unfortunate to loose two parents is just share carelessness!" haha love it

[michaelgj23]

How true is this film to the play? My girlfriend is very much into Oscar Wilde and I would like to watch this with her, but only if it's not too far removed from the original.

[PSBelectronica]

I loooooove this movie! Oh Colin,gosh! :]

[03kitleh]

Great film, crap trailer

[AngelGirlBeethoven]

Oscar Wilde + Colin Firth?! Can we get any more amazing?! I think not!

[RonLee999]

This updated version is disappointing. Throw in some rap music and it would have been complete. If you're going to bastardize a classic, call it by another name.

[uminatsuko]

COLIN FIRTH?! FUCK YEAH I'm so gonna watch this!

[03kitleh]

@uminatsuko it's already out - I would recommend it! A,azomg

[PFXProductions]

I read play book in my theater arts class..that was one of in class things to do then did a night of scenes..as final..we all had our make up short and then pick scene to this!...OH ALSO DID DOLL HOUSE TOO! I LOVE THIS!

[clay180]

This was a great movie everything worked. Great acting, and the music particularly stood out for me.

[hockeychickadee]

I saw this at the Stratford Festival last summer and it was so funny! I loved it, one of my favourites of the Festival!

[movielover125]

My school is doing their own version of the Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde. I'm in it. I think it is really comming along well

[EllaMusicien]

Yesterday, I watched really dreadful version of this in the theatre. So I was logically really very much pleased to see this film. I loved it and laughed all the time. The actors are perfect!

And the beginning about wild or Wilde England is good ;-)

[videoclog]

Damn, I hate modern adaptations in which they cut up scenes, change the locations constantly and add a lot of predictable slapstick to it. The 1952 adaptation is so much better!

[Fitchsticks]

@videoclog This adaptation does use a lot of the full extended text though. It's quite interesting reading the two different versions.

[loesje91]

I somehow imagined Colin Firth to be Algernon, not Jack... Don't know, it seems to fit him better. But then again I imagined Gwendolen to be blonde and Cecily to have dark hair, so it was all completely different ^^

[hemansupreme]

this movie is remake of a spanish movie made in the early 1950's

[bigtoefish]

well its an ENGLISH play written in 1894

[Chiswick2]

@bigtoefish

What do you mean English? Oscar Wilde was Irish.

[AliceTRoyal]

@Chiswick2 The play is set in England and as far as I know written in England, so technically I think it's an English play. I mean, Samuel Beckett was Irish too, but would you call "Waiting for Godot" an Irish play?

[Reishyn]

@bigtoefish Actually it's Irish.

[garyoldman4me]

great!!!

[marylynncleveland]

yeah! colin firth! 5*

[WeirdMaRy91]

oh yes! Colin Firth!!! I loved him in this!! excellent acting!!!

Thanks for watching =)

[AnnyDepp2]

this is great..5* thanks for showing

.I think, I haven´t seen this film...or does it comes out soon?

Is it at remake?

[WeirdMaRy91]

no it's not new, actually... It's a 2002 movie, .. I watched it in DVD last evening, and i loved it so much (also because fo my new Colin Firth obsession =) ) i decided to upload the trailer, because i couldn't found a good one on youtube =)

[WeirdMaRy91]

oh, an it's not a remake... Just another movie based on The Importance of Being Earnest.... =)
