With a name like Hamlet 2, a movie is either the worst piffle to be hurled down the cinematic pike, or pure genius in an idiot-savant sort of way. Happily, this story of possibly the most overblown high-school production of all time lands squarely in the second category — and it's one of the best US comedies of 2008. Steve Coogan, who, like many Brits before him, has proved his willingness to prostrate himself at the comedy altar, stars as a failed actor-turned-failed Arizona drama teacher prone to caftans, roller skates, and mortifying his students and braying wife (Catherine Keener).
