Just saw this film about the staging as a musical of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer's Night's Dream" at a backwater boys school, where the kid playing Puck is gay and gets his revenge on all the bullies with the help of a little fairy magic. "Were the World Mine" is a veritable train wreck of ideas. With some really wonderful moments, but an overall lack of an adult in charge...kinda like AMND, come to think of it.
