Some things I liked some I did not.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
A bold and worthy attempt to update Shakespeare's Hamlet by stripping the play of its dialogue, and turning it into a contemporary murder story.Of course it isn't always successful, I suspect that no such strategy would be, since Shakespeare's language is actually more important than his plotting.Still, the sincerity of cast and crew carry the effort a great ways. The Rozencrantz and Guildenstern sup-plot was, I thought, particularly well-handled.I have shown this to people who say they hate Shakespeare, without telling them the connection to the bard, and they have generally found it fascinating. Perhaps this is the only way some people can "get" Shakespeare.definitely worth a viewing.
have seen this movie three times now. excellent. mary-louise parker is so sexy.and this piece is wild. it has a wicked sensibility. funny. the writer is very in tune. there's some beautiful flashback home movie stuff. but mostly gorgeous 35mm.i assume this was done independently... fantastic acting, and it moves. well let's just come out and say it: it's hot.
One of the worst movies I have ever seen. It is beyond me that such a thing gets actually produced. The only remarkable moment in this pathetic effort of an Hamlet adaption is when the Ophelia (Julia) character eats dry dog food.
I caught this ditty by chance and was I glad I did. It is a film written and acted suited to my tastes. Jonathan Penner was captivating within his mannerisms, gorgeous to look at and a pleasure to see him act. Plot is grand. Everything else too. I am not giving much more away, solely my two opinions, aforementioned and the last: RENT IT if you find it.
