Not as good as the book. What do you expect though I guess? Ideal husband made by the same people wasnt nearly as good either. Very sad. Because it COULD be so good. Such wasted potential makes me sad. I was a little fascinated by the fact that they showed Lady Bracknell as having been a showgirl/prostitute on the London stage. Such liberties. But in a way it was kind of an awesome liberty to take. By giving her a past they gave her character (one of the shallowest in the play) an added depth that set her further apart from the others. Also cecilys daydreaming sequences were masterfully done and, I felt, aptly illustrated the repressed imagination of a girl in that time period.
