Synopsis

A host of stars both from Hollywood and Britain light up this contemporary adaptation of the much-loved play by Oscar Wilde. A pair of dashing young men about town in 1890s London have both taken to using the name "Ernest" as a disguise for their romantic activities - but their luck runs out when the two fake Ernests find themselves confronted with one another, with riotously funny consequences.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."
