All’s Faire in Love | Film review
Christina Ricci gets tongue-tied in Elizabethan English.

LOVE LOCKDOWN Ricci falls for a captive Benjamin.
All’s Faire in Love is a romantic comedy set at a Renaissance festival, but whatever that description calls to mind is definitely a better time than what you’ll find in this painfully unfunny film. Christina Ricci plays an aspiring actor who walks out of a finance-gig interview to pursue her dream of role-playing in Elizabethan English; Owen Benjamin is too old for the role of a college football player forced to work the fair in order not to fail a class. The rest is cartoonish filler, with gags involving turkey legs, the power trips of the fair’s nobility and a trash-talking unicorn puppet (don’t ask).
