Hamlet 2 (2008)

A big soggy mess of a movie (actually short, at 1:32) with a lot of laughs between the cringing. Steve Coogan plays his usual self-involved loser, this time a drama teacher at a high school in Tucson who writes a sequel to Hamlet. One character says about the play within the movie, "It was awful but I just couldn't stop watching," or words to that effect. That's how I felt about Hamlet 2. Catherine Keener also plays her usual mean girl. I predict a long cult life for this movie, and its hit single, the bouncy "Rock me, sexy Jesus."
