Reviews
"[A] rather mediocre experience, offering sporadic laughs but never achieving the level of consistent humor necessary to make this memorable." — ReelViews1
"Even though the film has a sloppy feel to it, Steve Coogan's brilliantly conceived comic performance is worth the price of admission." — Rotten Tomatoes2
"Hamlet 2 belongs firmly to Steve Coogan, which is fortunate since none of the film's supporting players prove to be the least bit memorable." — Slant3
