While working towards his amazing film of "Hamlet," Kenneth Branagh plus several of his close friends and colleagues took a little time off for a lighthearted "take" on actors playing Hamlet. This film knocked my socks off. If you've ever been an actor, it's true to the bone of the experience, but with such a gentle, hilarious, gay grotesquerie that it's probably one of my favorite works of Branagh's, and surely the most unexpected. No one I've ever met doesn't love this little gem about a bunch of out-of-work actors with dreams of really "doing" Hamlet and getting their lives together - putting the Great Dane together with shoestring, gum, and very little else but heart. Highly recommended. The entire cast is stellar.

Are you a wannabe actor? Do you love theatre, supporter of the Arts that you are? You will love this. Hilarious, wonderful performances.

One of the greatest movies about the craft and "family" of the theater that I've ever seen. I show it to all my good actor friends and we quote it constantly at each other.

Please please please can it be released on DVD sometime?
