Dana is a high-school drama teacher. His wife hates him, his students mock him and the 13-year-old critic for the school paper trashes every production he does but when the school threatens to cancel drama, he rises above it to stage the unimaginable. Wholly original, mostly musical and widely offensive, a modern day sequel to Hamlet that is so terrible it might just work.

Total Film - Neil Smith | Screenrush Barometer:  |
| 'After his over-shadowed turn in Tropic Thunder, it's good to see Coogan take the lead this time out. But as memorable as his latest incarnation is, we sense he's just treading water before the inevitable Alan Partridge movie.' |
| Time - Richard Corliss | Screenrush Barometer: |
| "There's nothing remarkable, or witty, or particularly engaging about Hamlet 2, a ragged comedy about a failed actor who tries to mount a science-fiction musical sequel to Shakespeare's tragedy in a Tucson, Arizona high school." |
