Much Ado About Nothing is a 2012 American independent romantic comedy written, produced, and directed by Joss Whedon. It is based on William Shakespeare's play of the same name. It was filmed in black and white at Whedon's home in California over a period of 12 days. The cast and crew were informed to keep the project a secret until production was finished. Whedon explained his initial interest in the project, saying: "Ifixated on this notion that our ideas of romantic love are created for us by the society around us.…It's a very cynical, romantic text about love, and how we behave, and how we're expected to behave. It's a party, but there's something darker there as well."

Much Ado About Nothing has received generally positive reviews from critics, earning a 79% approval ratingon Rotten Tomatoes. John DeFore of 'The Hollywood Reporter' said: "More than most adaptations, this is a film true to Shakespeare's practice of employing all means at hand to keep the crowd entertained". A.O. Scott of the 'New York Times' said the film was, "perhaps the liveliest and most purely delightful movie I have seen so far this year" and that it, "draws out the essential screwball nature of Shakespeare's comedy".He added: "Whedon's film crackles with a busy, slightly wayward energy that recalls the classic romantic sparring of the studio era."
總的來說，這部影片得到了許多影評人的積極評論，在爛番茄網站中，它得到了79%的好評。好萊塢報道的約翰·狄福爾認為：“這部影片不僅僅是改編，它把莎士比亞所有希望娛樂觀眾的手段都運用在了這部電影之中。”紐約時報的斯考特認為這部影片是我今年所看到的最搞笑，最活靈活現的影片，并抓住了莎士比亞喜劇中的所有特征。”他還說：“韋登的電影釋放了一種無拘無束的力量，他喚醒了電影中的經典浪漫故事。”
