The funniest Shakespearean sequel since Richard IV.

Rating: C- --
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.

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

Product Description:
Taking in a play at London's Globe Theatre (along with a tab of acid) is probably the best way to prepare for this Lynchian, hyper-stylized adaptation of HAMLET. A drug-addled Ophelia, sociopathic Rosencrantz, and femme-fatale Polonia (né Polonius) is only the start in this twisted modern-day version of the Bard's most famous play.
Description by Ryko Distribution:
This is Shakespeare in the extreme, set in a nightmarish, Kafkaesque non man s land, visually mesmerizing with countless lateral sub-plots and unexpected twists. This version of the famous Shakespeare tale centers on the ghostly, supernatural aspects of the play. The text is in the original Shakepearean, but the characters' personalities are changed, so for example, Polonius (originally a doddering old man) becomes Polonia a scheming femme fatale, who is plotting to get her younger sister Ophelia (who she controls through the use of addictive drugs) married into the royal family.
