1* EnsembleDarkhorse: If anyone has a favorite character from this show, expect it to be Armado or Costard.
2* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: In the film, some parts with Costard were funny, such as him asking about the meaning of "remuneration" to the King with a hand puppet in a high pitched voice and when he pulled out a rubber chicken instead of a letter.
3** Costard repetitively asking "Me?" when Don Armado is talking about him.
4** The bear statue in the library where the men stay, because it is out of place.
5** When one of the men watches a sheep fall.
6** The scene in the I Get a Kick Out of You musical number where Armado's assistant falls out of the plane and screams.
7** In all honestly, if done correctly, this should be one of the funniest Shakespeare plays. Highlights just in the script (in addition to the above) include a scene where the men all take turns in coming into a room to monologue about how he feels about his respective love interest and then hide when the next man comes into the room to do the same thing (and in performance this is often elevated to the point of them having to ''switch hiding places''), every interaction with Costard and Don Armado, and a scene where the men dress up as [[FunnyForeigner [=FunnyForeigners=]]] to woo the women and the women aren't fooled for an instant. And the Nine Worthies show.
8* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Although the movie is rated PG (and U in the United Kingdom), it contains a song mentioning cocaine and alcohol, a sexy dance number and [[spoiler: an ending montage with terrifying images of World War 2 set to sad music. However, there is a happy ending where the lovers are reunited and most of the characters survive.]]
