Movie Review: Hamlet 2

CuteCub got us some free tickets to go to a pre-screening of Hamlet 2 last night. It was sponsored by two local radio station and before the screening there was a trivia session where they gave out some gifts. CuteCub got a small vinyl single of a guy named Jonathan Richman and the name of the vinyl called You Can Have A Cell Phone, That's Ok, But Not Me since we both didn't know who he was or what kinda music he played, we made up tunes and sang it out loud after the movie. It just screams country song titles to me and CuteCub made up some pretty good country songs. He was gonna give the vinyl to a friend to find out what kinda music it actually is, I found it on YouTube, not impressed, we could have done something much more creative with that song title.

The movie is about a wannabe actor who's not successful in Hollywood and went to Tuscon, Arizona to be the drama teacher in a high school. His unsuccessful career continues in producing high school plays, and with the trends of cuts in high school art program led to his desperation in producing one final high school play called Hamlet 2. The movie is full of embarrassingly low-brow ridiculous humor that squeeze you to laugh because of how ridiculous everything is. It is a bit exhausting at times, in that it is cheesy and kinda cliche. But since CuteCub thinks it's hilarious and his giggles are kinda infectious, I had a good time nonetheless. I wouldn't really recommend it though. Let's say the movie resembles Sister Act 2, but the jokes are no as punctuated and the music is not as memorable. D+?

The third thing of the day that is a bit disappointing and not as good as imagination makes it up to be would be CuteCub himself. Great in theory, cute as shit, but taken, fills with 'NO' and we are way different. It's like Roger and Mimi.
