The works of William Shakespeare are both brilliant and timeless. Even today his plays are still popular, and still being made into stage productions and hit movies. But never in history has a work of Shakespeare been sequeled.

Who would come up with such an outrageous idea? Dana Marschz (Steve Coogan) used to act in commercials for juice mixers and other various consumer products. When his career as an ‘actor’ ended, he went where all actors go when their time in the spotlight has faded - Tucson, Arizona.

Now Mr. Marschz teaches drama class in a high school ‘snackatorium’ and he takes his job very seriously. When he’s not putting on amateur productions of already famous movies (like “Erin Brokovich”), he’s busy teaching theatre to the only two students in the school who voluntarily signed up for his class.

But when the school decides to cut every elective except for drama, his class becomes filled with the disobedient Latino population of the school. Mr. Marschz sees this as a glorious opportunity to spread his knowledge of the world of theatre to the feeble minds of West Mesa High. Epiphany, one of Marschz only loyal students, doesn’t like this change; “I still get anxious around ethnics,” she confesses.

But Marschz’s excitement is leveled when Principal Rocker informs him that the school board chose to eliminate the drama department. And the fact that all of his new students won’t listen to him doesn’t help.

Marschz resorts to the only idea that will please the principal, his students, and the angry critic of the school’s newspaper all at once - an original play. Within hours of brainstorming, he somehow comes up with the idea of Hamlet 2, the sequel to the greatest play ever written.

Controversy sweeps the school and soon the nation with news of how a high school drama teacher decided to write a play called Hamlet 2, full of sex, violence and Jesus in its script. After being kicked out of the school, Marschz takes his play along with his newly integral students to an old, abandoned railroad building, where they would put on the play of a lifetime.

And it is the weirdest, most hilariously inappropriate play that I have ever seen. The humor in this offbeat comedy is original at best, and for those more open-minded looking for a good laugh, “Hamlet 2” will definitely deliver.
