Dear reader, as you know, I've been thinking, and blogging about the new movie, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Undead. And, now we know the answer to this burning question:
What happens when the talents of Dustin Hoffman and John Lennon's sons are combined with the notion that Hamlet is a vampire and a project title that plays on Sir Tom's most popular achievement.
According to the Los Angeles Times, nothing good really results from this potpourri. Observe:
Blood spills, a "Get Smart"-like secret society investigates (as does an obtuse detective played by Jeremy Sisto), the Holy Grail is chased and the show must go on. But the farcical elements simply pile up instead of congeal and it's suddenly a very long 82 minutes.
Of course, the other way to look at it is that the movie is only 82 minutes.
