Keanu Reeves as Don John in “Much Ado About Nothing”
Oh, Jesus, remember that late ’80s/early ’90s period when directors kept casting Keanu in period pieces? From “Dangerous Liaisons” to “Dracula” to the Shakespearean comedy “Much Ado,” Keanu somnambulist-ed through each film like Ted going on a very bogus journey. At least while playing dopey love interests, you could almost see the reasoning in hiring the pretty-faced Keanu, but for the scheming Don John, Keanu came off sounding worse than a high school student at Ren Faire.
