When his Tucson, AZ school's theater department is threatened to be cut, failed-actor-turned-high-school-drama-teacher Dana Marschz writes a play that he hopes will solve everything. He decides to write a sequel to Shakespeare's Hamlet. Now, the drama department will stage one of the most politically incorrect musical extravaganzas ever seen. Dana and his class will put it all on the line for a night of conflict and controversial.

Fun and Funny submitted by jaegerla on September 13, 2010, 11:41am Have you ever heard how many artists are bipolar? They normally produce their best art while in a manic stage. It's true: http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/serendipia/Serendipia-Preti.html#genius and http://www.lycaeum.org/~martins/M2/creativ2.html

Hamlet 2 is a story of an Average Joe entering a manic stage and creating a controversial, boundary defying piece of art. Fun! And also funny.

Interesting submitted by andreahubert on June 30, 2012, 10:11pm This movie was both funny and kind of creepy at the same time. It was odd in the way that makes you want to keep watching it.

More fun than a barrel of Monkeys! submitted by Kikumatsu97 on August 13, 2014, 1:05pm This is the kind of comedy that only happens once, an original sequel (oxymoron)! I LOVE Dana Marjs (sp?) character and his relationship with his wife and students in this hysterical drama class comedy!
