Elisabeth Shue co-stars in "Hamlet 2" and is convincing portraying herself.
It stars Steve Coogan, the British actor co-starred in the quirky Tristam Shandy and plays the movie director in "Tropic Thunder."
And here he portrays actor turned high school drama teacher in Tucson.
But the drama department has been shut down.
To save it, he writes 'Hamlet 2" a politically incorrect sequel.
SNL's Amy Poehler co-stars as an ACLU lawyer who's heard about the school board's attempts to suppress it and comes to his aid, citing free speech.
But the parents remain unconvinced.
Movie critic Jeffrey Lyons said, "Hamlet 2" is bubbly, quirky and off the beaten track of comedy. Coogan is the glue which holds everything together in a film which evokes earlier films about a unique iconoclastic teacher. It's one to seek out and enjoy.
