Last night I previewed Hamlet 2. It was okay. It was funny, but I got the feeling that it didn't decide on what kind of comedy it wanted to be. It wasn't completely a comedy of the sad life of the drama teacher, Dana Marschz, nor was it completely a high brow comedy poking fun at social issues, such as sexualizing Jesus and exploring the idea of "what if Hamlet had a time machine?"
The movie was too uneven in pacing and story to really grab me. The slapstick and demeaning humor was strong and had quite a humorous impact, but didn't make up for the lumpy story.
Verdict: rent it (to spite an old AP English teacher who swears the play Hamlet could not be out done).
