| ReelViews James Berardinelli The best things about Hamlet 2 are the most offbeat. | 13 |  |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers It's Coogan's breakthrough star performance that holds it all together. He's sensational. | 15 | |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs Not a tragedy by any means, Hamlet 2 is funny, but feels somewhat slapped together, much like the musical of the same name within it. | 10 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer The script's biting premise and Steve Coogan's endearing, off-the-handle performance make Hamlet 2 an hysterical -- if slightly painful -- ride.
