Critics' Reviews

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Owen Gleiberman
As a movie, Hamlet 2 is lively, energetically daft, and very, very scrappy -- a broader, more loony-tunes knockoff of "Waiting for Guffman."Read Full Review »

CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Roger Ebert
The movie is an ideal showcase for the talents of Coogan.Read Full Review »

ROLLING STONE: Peter Travers
It's Coogan's breakthrough star performance that holds it all together. He's sensational.Read Full Review »

ReelViews: James Berardinelli
A rather mediocre experience, offering sporadic laughs but never achieving the level of consistent humor necessary to make this memorable.Read Full Review »

USA Today: Claudia Puig
Elisabeth Shue has a strange role as a version of herself who has given up acting for nursing.Read Full Review »

The New York Times: Stephen Holden
It all adds up to the kind of bad family entertainment likely to raise only a few eyebrows.Read Full Review »

LOS ANGELES TIMES: Kenneth Turan
It's an unhinged, off-the-wall comedy that will try anything once, an uneven film in which the hits are so dead-on that the misses don't seem to matter.Read Full Review »

Boston Globe: Ty Burr
In the new comedy Hamlet 2, Coogan comes perilously close to wearing out his welcome. It's actually a pretty fascinating sight.Read Full Review »

Philadelphia Inquirer: Carrie Rickey
Only in its aggressively imaginative profanity is the film consistent.Read Full Review »

Village Voice: J. Hoberman
Not nearly as uproarious as it should be.Read Full Review »
