After an unsuccessful acting career Dana Marschz (Coogan) becomes a high school drama teacher directing quirky adaptations of Hollywood movies. After being told that the drama budget was being cut and that this would be his last performance he decided to go out on top with some of this own material. That “original” material is Hamlet 2 a sequel to the Shakespeare classic. For those unaware Hamlet dies at the end. So, Marschz’s version involves a time machine and Jesus among other liberties. This sounds really quirky and fun, but in reality it’s just one joke over and over for 90+ minutes. I was really excited to see this when I first saw the trailer and heard the premise, but was sorely let down. There are enough indie comedies out there if you’re in the mood for one so… skip this one.
