Hamlet 2
PostedAugust 31, 2008

from Providence, RI
Hamlet 2 has a lot to work with: Strong acting, a solid concept, and campy but good music. But the movie never seems sure whether it wants to sting the right or to mock the culture war on all sides or to showcase its play-within-a-movie. The indictment was too weak . The parody of the cultural divide didn't work because it never takes itself seriously enough be satire. And the good time that the musical could have been didn't happen because it was too scattered and the tension we were supposed to be feeling while the "barbarians were at the gates" outside the cinema was nonexistent.
Still, it's funny, colorful, there's a hot latino teen in it, and the gay men's chorus singing "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" was so wacky it won me over.

Yes, I recommend this movie.
