This is rather enjoyable:

"All this might be enjoyably silly if Anonymous were as witty or
clever as, say, Shakespeare in Love, which also takes liberties with
this history. Unfortunately, Anonymous is written with no trace of
humour or intelligence. It stumbles around like a bad drunk, deluded
with a sense of its own importance, crashing into walls, repeating
itself and losing its plots. If I ran the Mermaid Tavern, this film
would be Bard. Ahem. Sorry."

The unreal fun of 'Anonymous' by Lawrence Toppman (film reviewer for
the Charlotte, NC, Observer)
The tale can be enjoyed - only if you take the fanciful anti-
Shakespearean drama as set in an alternate universe.
