Hamlet 2 (2008)

Silliness for silliness’s sake is pure joy to watch. At least for me. And that, my friends, is the best way I can describe Hamlet 2.

We were blessedly spared any overwrought ideas. We were asked to try to understand no metaphors. We were left with no political messages to wade through, and no overbearing comedic personality trying to sell us his point of view. No subject was too taboo to bring up, no group was too sacred to joke about.

It was brazenly ridiculous, and I loved this movie for that reason. I’d recommend it to anyone with an appreciation for the absurd.
