...but I've caught the trailer a couple of times and invariably crack up when "Jesus" asks "Hamlet," "You got my cell-phone number, right?"

I saw a production in Boulder CO several years ago - it was hilarious and engaged the non-literary folks in our group.

Wish they'd make a movie of THAT script.

The unfunniest least interesting movies ever.

Holy mother of God. You think Dick was one of the funniest movies of the 90s?

I don't even have a clever quip for this -- I'm completely floored.

Wow.

WOW!!!

DICK!!!!!!!

I should just rent Waiting for Guffman again and be done with it.

"Drinking while Intoxicated"? You mean "Driving while Intoxicated" or "Drinking while Driving" right? (2nd paragraph)

Cause I've drank while drunk and I don't think that's illegal. Maybe in public, but that's called "Public Intoxication."

Boob jobbed & and spray tanned 20 somethings 'competing' drunkenly to see who can score a role pretending to be teenagers in the worst production of a HS play ever. The loser gets to lick heroin off "I Love NY's" ass.

This line is probably funnier than the film:

...[A]ctually, he's had his license revoked for drinking while intoxicated

What a draconian lot in Tuscon! ;)

Pam Brady is a hack. Team America was a thoroughly UNfunny movie. But hey, she's all tied up with the guys who make South Park so she MUST be funny, right?

Wrong.

And this movie is proof. If your script can't help Steve Coogan be funny, then your script is shit. Period.

The Reduced Shakespeare Company's Hamlet can be seen on youtube in 4 parts. I promise you will laugh at this Hamlet!

Is it me or does this movie sound like School of Rock moved down the hall to drama class?

Well, I'll still probably see this when it comes out on Netflix. It sounds like a nice Saturday night rental. By the time it comes out on DVD I could probably use a laugh about teaching Shakespeare in high school, considering I'll be in the midst of trying to teach Shakespeare in high school (my first year teaching!).

On another note, this reminds me, for some odd reason, of The Reduced Shakespeare Company. One of the funniest re-imaginings of The Bard I've ever seen. 37 plays in just over 90 min performed by three wickedly funny actors. Irreverent. Smart. Funny as all get out. (Sounds like what Hamlet 2 was going for). http://www.reducedshakespeare.com/shakespeare.php

Maybe I'm just prejudiced against the libertarian creeps behind "Southpark," but the preview for this movie left the impression of a barely clever, very dumb teen-oriented comedy. So, I'm not surprised by Stephanie's review.

FWIW, we saw the preview at a showing of the overrated French thriller, "Tell No One," playing at our favorite artsy-fartsy theater in Bethesda, MD, the Landmark. Go figure, but people were laughing at lead zeppelin clunkers like Jesus saying that his father would crucify him! Mabye the wife and I are bitter, or maybe after 8 years of Bush the country's IQ is in the toilet. Probably both.
