The problem with a sequel to Hamlet is that everybody interesting is dead by the end. That doesn t discourage Dana Marschz, a Tucson high school drama teacher, from trying to save the school s theater program with a sequel named Hamlet 2. The shop class builds him a time machine, and he brings back the dead characters, plus Jesus, Einstein and the very much alive Hillary Clinton. Music is by the Tucson Gay Men s Chorus. Hamlet 2 stars the British comedian Steve Coogan, who with this film and the current Tropic Thunder may develop a fan base in America. He s sort of a gangling, flighty, manic Woody Allen type, but without the awareness of his neurosis. Oh, he knows he has problems. He s a recovering alcoholic, so broke he and his wife have to take in a boarder, and when his drama class is thrown out of the school lunchroom, they have to meet in the gym during volleyball practice.
