Trailer Review: Hamlet 2

Posted by John Constantine



It’s never good when you ask yourself if something is funny or not. Hilarity, under ideal circumstances, is self-evident. Make no mistake, I laughed watching this trailer for Hamlet 2. But I stopped laughing when I realized the lead was not Meet Joe Black’s Jake Webber. It’s not my fault Steve Coogan looks like everyone’s favorite budget-Tim Roth! Stripped of this context, Hamlet 2 was questionable in its guffaw-evoking ability. The fake Herpes commercial, the over-fictionalized Waiting For Guffman premise, the Shakespeare desecration are all things that make me chuckle. But I don’t necessarily see myself quoting them at parties to elicit shared joy with others. Then again, “Rock me Sexy Jesus” is catchy.
