The premise of Were the World Mine is romantic comedy trope: character A yearns for the appreciate and affection of unattainable character B, then though a series of hi-jinks, legal adore wins in the destroy. That is about where the comparison ends as everything else is turned on its ear in Tom Gustafson’s mammoth cover adaptation of his hold short film Fairies.

The film’s tagline, `If you could earn someone adore you, would you? ‘ Is honestly, unexpectedly answered, “Yeah. Obviously.”

The first twist to the romantic comedy trope is that the lead couple is two young men. In the film our put-upon hero Timothy (Tanner Cohen), is cast as Puck in his senior production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. During rehearsal, he happens on the recipe to recreate the flower, here called a pansy in a nice play on words, which Puck uses on Shakespeare’s lovers. Timothy/Puck uses the pansy first on his unrequited crush Jonathon (Nathaniel David Becker), then on his classmates, and then the town, allowing everyone to stare the world through his eyes. By the raze of the film, as in Shakespeare’s play, all is peace.

Of course, Timothy is hardly the usual trodden-down gratified lead. This is not some Cinderella fable with the horrible, or even ‘Hollywood Ugly’ lead forlornly in adore with someone quite beyond him; Timothy is a aesthetic boy himself. The object of his affection, Jonathon is not the typical, unattainable ideal man either. We are shown in subtle ways that he is honest as fervent in Timothy, as Timothy is in him. Oh, were things only a bit different, eh? Enter the pansy.

This is not an adaptation of Midsummer Night’s Dream, but it does have status points tacked on from that play. Helen Fielding did the same thing tacking on Jane Austen’s dwelling from Pride and Prejudice to the fresh Bridget Jones’s Diary. Timothy at various points may is Puck, Oberon, Bottom and Helena. Perhaps that is the perfect descriptive combination for a young contented man, share fairy, imp, fool, and unrequited lover.

The musical fantasy sequences are not really fantasy, they are a fragment of the plot; magic spells that movie the yarn along.

The music and lyrics are inspired. Shakespeare interpolated and status to music, may hardly be revolutionary, but it is quiet quite fun and infectious. I win myself listening to the soundtrack repeatedly. Tanner Cohen is extraordinary and has a miniature sibilant ‘S’ that is quite endearing.

Tom Gustafson is definitely a director and writer to view, he spins a fun, intriguing narrative with friendly moments of poignancy. Some of the imagery in the film is iconic and piquant. It is hardy without flaws, but the the music and the performances buoy you along over those flaws. Cohen and Becker are especially excellent. I would not change a frame.

As a straight, married 25 year used female, I swear this is not the typical movie for me. I stumbled upon the music on Napster and, as an author of fantasy books, was intrigued by the screen (a boy wearing an original fairy costume) . After listening to the soundtrack, I fell in treasure with it completely. The music is absolutely amazing, Tanner Cohen’s thunder is a dream to listen to, and each song plays an indispensable role in the overall movie. I even direct the songs to my 3 year faded daughter (who loves the song “were the world mine”, minus the “awful word” at the beginning, lol) . Because it left the theater in my plot the day I found out about the movie so I missed it, I actually drove all the plot to Recent York City from Kentucky unprejudiced to sight this movie with a friend. It was well worth the drive. Even though it’s a very simple premise, each moment is fitting and toothsome. The only two negatives to me were that the tagline “If you could develop someone fancy you, would you? ” seemed like a “duh, no!” to me (because then it’s not Right esteem), but to Timothy it was a yes. I disagreed with that and did not truly luxuriate in the romance between the two boys until it proved proper later on. The other disappointment was by my friend, who at the last scene freaked out on me whispering “You mean, Timothy doesn’t direct again???? ” We honest wanted to hear his instruct more, he’s so improbable!

I am definitely going to engage the DVD (despite the raised eyebrows I will most certainly win from people here!) because the movie was neat, fun, contented and very sweet. I’m gloomy it left the NY theater, because I might have taken the 13 hour poke again fair to look it!
