Movie Review: Hamlet 2

This was an interesting film. Not sure if I would recommend it, but I definitely enjoyed it. It's not a film for everyone.

People who have been involved with school theater would probably appreciate this comedy, and definitely anyone who can sympathize with high school teachers (and art teachers in particular) would appreciate the challenges faced by Dana Marschz (portrayed by Steve Coogan).

The main side plot involving Marschz's personal life is fairly predictable and doesn't add much to the film.

One of the best sight gags was when Marschz and his wife go to the "Prickly Pear Fertility Clinic". No foreshadowing whatsoever going on there.

I saw this at the Arclight in Hollywood. Really cool theater, with reserved stadium seating for all their screens and excellent picture quality. They have props and costumes from current films on display in the lobby. I definitely will be coming back here to see movies.
