Hamlet 2
Steve Coogan stars as a failed actor-turned-worse-high-school-drama-teacher who, in an effort to save his newly acquired drama department, conceives and stages a grossly politically incorrect musical sequel to Shakespeare's Hamlet. Coogan goes for broke as the enthusiastic-bordering-on-psychotic teacher, while his long-suffering wife (Catherine Keener) gets all the snappy lines. Also on board as support are David Arquette, Elisabeth Shue and Amy Poehler. Absurd fun prompting one reviewer to call it "the funniest Shakespearean sequel since Richard IV".
