I can watch this over and over and love it every time. Perfection.
Reese Witherspoon (Legalmente Loura), Colin Firth (O Diário de Bridget Jones) e Rupert Everett (O Casamento do Meu Melhor Amigo) encabeçam o delicioso elenco desta espectacular comédia de enganos e costumes magistralmente escrita por Oscar Wilde. Sempre que Jack Worthing se farta da monótona vida que leva no campo viaja até à cidade fazendo-se passar pelo seu imaginário irmão Ernesto, acabando por se apaixonar pela bela Gwendolyn. Aproveitando a sua ausência, o amigo Algemon Moncrief, usando o mesmo disfarce (Ernesto), vai até ao campo ansioso por conhecer a pupila de Jack, por quem se apaixonou. Esta comédia de identidades falsas rapidamente se complica quando os dois pretensos Ernestos cujas amadas adoram o nome Ernesto por show more significar "honesto", se vêem frente a frente e obrigados a explicar quem realmente são show less
