Rupert Everett, Colin Firth and Reese Witherspoon star in this adaptation of Oscar Wilde's comedy of errors. Algernon Moncrieff (Everett) has discovered that he has a secret in common with his friend Jack Worthing (Firth) - they both use alter egos when in a tight spot. However, when Algernon decides to pose as Jack's alter ego - Ernest from London - for a weekend in the country, he finds that Jack's ward Cecily (Witherspoon) has developed an infatuation with the mysterious brother; and now she has finally met him. Meanwhile, Algernon's cousin Gwendolen (Frances O'Connor) is also staying for the weekend and knows Jack as his alter ego. Gwendolen's mother, the stern Lady Bracknell (Judi Dench), has to be convinced to give her blessing to the blossoming romances.
