for being fun and funny, but not overflowing with either
Hamlet 2 is a twist on a story that has been done before. The school is going to shut down the drama program and the teacher and his students have one last shot to put on a play that will save everything. Only, this teacher is a buffoon, and the play he decides to do is an original work, a sequel to Shakespeare’s Hamlet, where Jesus returns to the world, and then travels through time with Hamlet allowing him to save all the people who die in the original play. The production is punctuated with songs like “Rock Me Sexy Jesus” and “Raped In The Face” making the play in the movie is more fun than the movie itself for its absurdity.
If you are a huge South Park fan and live for that style of humor, then run right out and see Hamlet 2. You’ll love it. But if South Park isn’t your heart and soul, then you may want to pass on this one, or at least see it at a discounted rate.
