Reviews
"[A] rather mediocre experience, offering sporadic laughs but never achieving the level of consistent humor necessary to make this memorable." — ReelViewsReelViews: Hamlet Review"Even though the film has a sloppy feel to it, Steve Coogan's brilliantly conceived comic performance is worth the price of admission." — Rotten TomatoesRotten Tomatoes: Hamlet Review
"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." — SlantSlant: Hamlet Review

- Variety: Hamlet 2 Review
- "Hit-and-miss in terms of verbal wit and individual gags. But package moves along quickly, and overall concept remains amusing even when there’s a dud moment or three."
- The Hollywood Reporter: Hamlet 2 Review
- "The off-kilter comic rhythms of Rainn Wilson are exploited to excellent effect in "The Rocker," a derivative rock satire that is far more enjoyable than one would have a right to expect."
- UGO: Hamlet 2 Review
- "Hamlet 2 feels like it was beamed in from around 1984 or so. Visually undistinguished, but consistently rude and ribald, it gets by because of a great central performance by Steve Coogan as out-of-work actor/high school drama teacher Dana Marschz."
- Comingsoon.net: Hamlet 2 Review
- ""Hamlet 2" could possibly be the strangest comedy ever made and it boggles the mind that this could come from the same director as Hollywood movies like "The In-Laws" and "Nancy Drew," although Andrew Fleming must have had a freak flag in hiding that only came to the fore when he teamed with Pam Brady of "South Park" and "Team America."
