- Director: Oliver Parker

CGiii Comment
Massively unimpressive - despite the Oscar-winning names.
All of Wilde's humour has been erased by the inept direction.
Parker...a director who messes up and around with too many genres, a director with neither style nor trademark. A director without identity.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Two young gentlemen living in 1890's England use the same pseudonym ("Ernest") on the sly, which is fine until they both fall in love with women using that name, which leads to a comedy of mistaken identities...
