Hamlet 2

A high school drama teacher's life is a "parody of a tragedy." He's a terrible teacher and a terrible playwright and he's losing his job. In a last-ditch effort to save drama at his school, he has his students (who he mistakenly thinks are troubled teens) perform his original work, "Hamlet 2," which involves a time machine, Jesus, and musical numbers.

At first it comes dangerously close to being a spoof of "Dangerous Minds" along the lines of "Scary Movie," "Epic Movie," etc. But it rises above that and reminds me of Tobias directing "Romeo and Juliet" and "Rushmore." Worth watching, and one of the funnier films I've seen in awhile.
