Finally, an aughts comedy movie for theater kids!
...I wasn't there for this, so I have no nostalgia for it. I'm also not a theater kid! There's something so brazenly stupid about this premise that it's almost admirable. I didn't really care for the dramatic elements of this, the characters felt too thinly sketched, and the satire was too boilerplate and obvious to leave a lasting impression. I'll give Hamlet 2 props for being sincere and committing to the bit enough to have musical numbers in the film itself, but otherwise, this just didn't do it for me.
