“Hamlet 2″ (2008)
I tried to see Hamlet 2 in theaters last year but never managed. I was on a Hamlet binge at the time so it seemed a good remedy for much of the rest of the tragic stuff I was watching and reading. Alas, I didn’t love it, and didn’t laugh much. Comedies are so subjective, perhaps even more so than other types of movies. Any time I write I loved one, a commenter says they didn’t, and vice versa. So I hope there’s some love out there for Hamlet 2, but there wasn’t much love chez Girl Detective.
I do, though, highly recommend watching the video for “Rock Me, Sexy Jesus“. Not only is it so catchy it might never get out of your head, that part of the movie made me genuinely laugh.

We had a similar reaction at our homestead - it looked like it would be hilarious, and the first 15 minutes were promising, and then it just wasn’t that good, and the funny parts were sporadic at best. But the Rock Me, Sexy Jesus bit was good (I still sing the chorus every now and then), as were the few digs at Tucson, AZ.

They weren’t allowed to film in Tucson because of the criticism of it!
