Two minor characters (Tim Roth and Gary Oldman) from the play "Hamlet" stumble around unaware of their scripted lives and unable to deviate from them.
Hamlet has been told time and time again, in countless films, television adaptations, theater performances. Not that this is a bad thing, but one thing the world hardly needs is another Hamlet adaptation. Luckily, this is not one of them, but rather a very clever send-up. Why not tell the same story from another character's point of view? And for laughs, let us choose the two most silly characters.
Better yet, let us cast two of the greatest actors ever. With all due respect to Richard Dreyfus, who also appears here, Roth and Oldman are among the best out there and to see them team up is something of a dream.
