There are hints of commentary in the film where, if we squint, we might just walk away with some social significance, but mostly, we’re just laughing at the outrageous moments of mockery toward Shakespeare’s play and religion

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 5, 2023

Dysfunction and eccentricity are the fuel for this funny experiment.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 28, 2020

To laugh or not to laugh - that is the question. And with Hamlet 2, there is most definitely only one answer - laugh laugh laugh!!!! Wildly inventive, irreverent and beyond entertaining...

The film wants to be an edgy indie-comedy, but proves to be nothing more than a middle of the road picture with more misses than hits.

| Original Score: C- | Oct 16, 2019

We are never entirely sure what the hell happens, only that Hamlet is given a chance to set everything right. And that a lot of it is set to New Wave.

| Original Score: B | Dec 6, 2018

Despite a few smiles, "Hamlet 2" is a slow slog to the final curtain.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 22, 2011

High school theater spoof lacks some spark.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 30, 2010

Some of it doesn't work at all, but much of it is both sharply astute and hysterically funny

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 8, 2009

I haven't laughed so hard in years. Coogan is pure brilliance...

| May 8, 2009

Moments of demented inspiration as the ridiculously catchy ditty 'Rock Me Sexy Jesus' are few and far between.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 12, 2009

That sound you hear is Shakespeare spinning in his grave after watching Hamlet 2 from the Great Beyond.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 23, 2008

Buoyed by Steve Coogan's unapologetically go-for-broke performance...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 25, 2008

Coogan is a master at playing jerks, but Dana is too silly, too stupid, and too unappealing to enlist us on his side.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 8, 2008

For anyone who ever took drama in High School, Coogan's character will surely ignite memories of quirky, even downright crazy teachers you may have encountered over the years.
