Hamlet 2

Opening August 22nd

If you want to end summer by going off the wall, latch onto Steve Coogan. The Brit comic with solid acting skills (check him out in 24 Hour Party People) plays the director of the movie—within—the—movie in Tropic Thunder. But for a maximum dose of bizarro Steve, Hamlet 2 is your final destination. Coogan plays Dana Marschz, a star who never was, perhaps because his last name is unpronounceable. Dana is stuck teaching drama to Arizona high school gangbangers until he decides his ticket out is to put on his own musical version of Hamlet, with songs like "Rock Me, Sexy Jesus." Even when director Andrew Fleming and writer Pam Brady flirt with being mainstream—ingratiating, Coogan holds Hamlet 2 to its ballsy center. He's mad nuts, and my hero.
