Hamlet 2 Ratings & Reviews
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Oddly, what's supposed to be a great comedy about a bad play is in fact a bad comedy about a play that looks pretty frigging amazing
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
A high school musical that would make John Waters proud.
Washington Post
Philip Kennicott
[A] dazzling little comedy.
Wall Street Journal
Joanne Kaufman
Not since Death of a Salesman has failure been quite so entertaining.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Hamlet 2 is a likable movie even as it careens around like a wagging tail, but it's just too uneven.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
It has an edge and degree of sophistication not seen in most summer comedies.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
No matter how many jokes you pack around it, arrested development doesn't make for a very compelling dramatic arc.
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
Funny excuses an awful lot, and at its best, Hamlet 2 is nothing short of hilarious.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
I am not fond of listening to characters scream unfunny lines meant to send up the blandness of everyday people.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Fortunately, Coogan remains impressively unafraid of humiliation, pushing every joke just far enough to keep us watching. But he deserves more.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The movie is an ideal showcase for the talents of Coogan.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
When the father of one of the stars says, 'I'm simultaneously horrified and fascinated,' you'll know just what he means.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
The more self-righteous it gets -- the more pious it is about offending people -- the less it works as a theatrical parody.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Boy, is it stupid. Boy, is it funny.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Why so vulgar?
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Coogan is an utterly fearless performer, which makes his character just a little bit frightening, occasionally unsympathetic, and just unreal enough to feel way too real.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
It all adds up to the kind of bad family entertainment likely to raise only a few eyebrows.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
It's interesting that in a year so horrific for comedy in three successive August weeks (The Pineapple Express, Tropic Thunder and now this) Hollywood finally remembered how to be funny again.
