Rating: 1.5/5 --
What could have been a charming and original endeavor becomes tacky and silly.

Rating: 3/4 --
Were the World Mine follows the teen musical formula but renders its material with admirable lushness and intelligence.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
A diverting Chicago-made export, director and co-writer Tom Gustafson's gay fantasia on Shakespearean themes is set in a socially stratified private school ruled by the rugby jocks but about to be sent into a tizzy thanks to the magic of Shakespeare.

Chicago Tribune
3 stars out of 5 -- Most of the musical asides are played as fantasy daydreams....This is very effective...
Box Office
Director Tom Gustafson's musical WERE THE WORLD MINE is nothing if not ambitious....On the plus side are Cory James Krueckeberg's lyrics, many drawn from 'Midsummer' itself, and Jessica Fogle's pleasing music.
Los Angeles Times
[A]n indie alternative to Disney's HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL franchise....[A] small endearing film...

Rating: 3/4 --
The songs are bright and beautifully sung, the cast's naturalism works against the surreality of the concept, and ultimately, the pieces fit together like a dream.

Product Description:
When Timothy is cast as Puck in a high-school production of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, he takes the role to heart--using the text to concoct a love potion he uses to turn his conservative town gay! How will they deal with their sudden transformations, especially the school jock (Timothy's secret love)' This invigorating musical is bursting with Broadway-quality songs and the kind of role reversals that would make Shakespeare proud.
