Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Hamlet 2 (2008)

Looked, from the trailers, as though it might be a giggly, albeit blasphemous, silly time. Instead, it's empty and unfunny with amateurish acting. The high school drama students seemed to have about as much talent as a high school drama department and even Elisabeth Shue seemed uncomfortable in her minimal part as herself.

It kind of comes alive when the play is finally staged, but everything to that point feels like a waste of time.
