Jesus did strike a magnificent pose


29. "Hamlet 2"
One of the few low budget independent comedy films that had a better trailer than film. Friends recommended this film and I was somewhat disappointed. It felt disjointed but was still funny. Not great funny and not cult status funny, but something you wouldn't turn off if it came on television.

Steve Coogan was excellent, as good as his time in "Tropic Thunder." The musical number "Rock Me Sexy Jesus" would be a YouTube sensation if it wasn't in this film. Amy Pohler's one dimensional ACLU lawyer role was wonderful. (That last sentence sounds odd.)

Maybe I should let this one sit for a few years. It may be great and I could've been tired.
