Scotland, Pa. Reviews
It’s yet another indie movie that’s supposed to be hip and funny but never is.
| Original Score: F | Sep 3, 2022
Offers more mild amusement than outright laughs...

This should have been a black comic masterpiece.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 6, 2005
... can't be dismissed as a vanity project

A slyly macabre fantasia that works on its own demented terms.

It's as nourishing as a Big Mac with fries.
| Original Score: C | Oct 23, 2002
It's a setup so easy it borders on facile, but keeping the film from cheap-shot mediocrity is its crack cast.
| Oct 21, 2002
An uneven parody that sometimes amuses but just as often annoys.

Quite possibly the best "modernizing" of a Shakespeare tale in recent memory.
| Jul 9, 2002
McBeth's personal karmageddon builds with comedy and tragedy in equal measure, without being as long as the original.

Very clever writing and great casting make this a comedy that's fun to watch even if you're not familiar with the source material.
| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Jun 28, 2002
If you keep a list of films you want to see one way or another, you would be doing yourself a service by keeping this film high up on that list.
| Original Score: B+ | Jun 17, 2002
It's not exactly a gourmet meal but the fare is fair, even coming from the drive-thru.

There are some truly wacky parallels with Shakespeare's play.
| Original Score: 3/4 | May 10, 2002
Underachieves only in not taking the Shakespeare parallels quite far enough.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 26, 2002
The combined talents of cast and crew create a new take on an enduring drama that pairs nicely with a side order of kitsch.

As flaccid and undistinguished as star James LeGros's period wig.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Apr 19, 2002
This spawn of William Shakespeare and Ray Kroc has more fun with [the] thin premise than you might expect, mostly because of Maura Tierney.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 11, 2002
A disappointment for those who love alternate versions of the Bard, particularly ones that involve deep fryers and hamburgers.
| Apr 5, 2002
It's simple, sizzly and very funny.
