There's a lot going on in 2008's ambitious movie 'Were the World Mine.' The film tries to be a fantasy, a romance and a musical all at the same time, while loosely re-telling the classic Shakespeare tale 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' and simultaneously adjusting the story to fit the narrative of gay empowerment. By trying to do everything at the same time the film is constantly on the precipice of disaster, but it somehow manages to pull it off.
The film sees Tanner Cohen's character of Timothy struggling with his sexuality while living at an exclusive private boarding school. He's in love with the captain of the rugby team, who does nothing but belittle him for his sexuality. While rehearsing for his part in a school production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' he finds the recipe for a powerful love potion and unleashes it on the town, causing previously heterosexual people to take on new same-sex partners, with consequences that vary from the amusing to the appalling.
