Hamlet 2 (2008)

It’s time for our final entry in April’s theme of AWKWARD LAUGHTER 2: THE FLOP in which we reexamine box office comedy flops and their status in the film zeitgeist today. This final conversation is of a movie that is far from awful and pretty creative but also profoundly sad. Maybe that’s the reason the lip service around this movie is so minimal but it certainly rises above many other comedy films during this time. We’re talking about Andrew Fleming’s 2008 film about a drama teacher who has failed at all of his dreams and must put on one last, original, performance before this drama department at a Tucson high school shuts down for good. “Hamlet 2” didn’t seem like the vehicle to launch Steve Coogan into a boisterous Hollywood career but we still like the guy and his history of creative output. This fairly dark comedy also stars Joseph Julian Soria, Catherine Keener, Elisabeth Shue, David Arquette and more. Can Dana Marscz(?) finally transcend to the next level of his dream and get the respect of his very bitter wife? You can see his dick and balls for a second.
