Nothing more honest than an opinion from pre-teen/teen boy child!I use to coach my daughter's Destination Imagination Team (2 girls-4 boys) and I got the best leads and reviews on movies and books!
Your review made me smile this morning-still trying to get rid of this damn Upper Resp. Infection and smiles have been scarce around here-so thanks And have a great weekend!
Regardless of any differing opinions I may or may not have with your piano student, I will whole-heartedly agree with your assessment that Shakespeare can take those lackluster plots and make them bearable.
So, according to my 14 year old piano student who owns all of the Star Wars, is an AVID fan and has read some of these books, this is the worst movie of the first six--he says number 8 is the worst of all. But he also thinks 4-6 (yes, the original 3) are the best. He and one of his brothers have even gone to a Star Wars themed camp. Even at that young age he knows what's what ;).
Because of this I couldn't give this parody less than 3 stars because it's NOT Doescher's fault the material is so bad in the first place. Nor is it his fault 1-3 aren't as good because, according to my personal Star Wars expert, neither are the movies. True, I'm going on the opinion of a 14 year old, albeit a bright and well read one who plans to become a pilot someday, but since he is my number one fan for all of my IRL jokes, naturally I am going to lean in his favour, but at least I'm admitting my bias fair and square!
That said, Doescher does a great job of putting this less than stellar story into Shakespearean fofm --he's definitely talented at this sort of thing. No doubt if this had been on audio, I'd have liked it better even with the less than worthy story because of the humour Doescher infuses at times.
