Hamlet 2
Comedy, Ding, Gritty Reality and Stuff, Inspirational Teachers January 26th, 2009
Hamlet 2 is a pretty good stay home on a Friday night movie. The story of a hapless teacher who just wants to put on plays inspired by movies is pretty funny. But then following it up on Saturday with Half Nelson, the story of a hapless teacher that just wants to smoke crack undid some of the magic. It was a good movie, but long with a lot of crack smoking. I never though I would say this, but I would rather have a musical number of “Rock Me Sexy Jesus.” Critics do not agree.

half nelson is emphatically not a good stay home on a friday night movie. actually, i might be part of the 9% willing to say it’s not really a good movie. i seem to remember a nice cat in it, but doesn’t it die?

H2 = brilliant just for the fact that Hamlet 2 was completely believable as a Broadway musical. They are always incomprehensible to me…
