Part “Waiting for Guffman”, part “Stand & Deliver”, part “Rushmore”, “Hamlet 2″ gives Steve Coogan a lot of room to run free; a very good thing if you like his brand of humor.
Coogan plays failed actor Dana Marschz. (Yes, his last name is meant to be unpronounceable.) He lives in Tuscon, Arizona, a [...]

I tend to enjoy movies about midlife crises. You can build a wonderful story around a character whose well-established life is falling apart.

“The Savages” seems to follow a recent trend of creating thoroughly miserable motion pictures. I mean, who enjoys watching a story about two siblings watching their father slowly deteriorate and die? A show of hands please. That’s right, no one.
Any glimpse of entertainment value is salvaged by the dead-on interplay of the sibling pair [...]
