So I finally made it to Hamlet 2 on Saturday and while I wouldn't say it had me rolling in the aisles, I certainly did have a good time. In my opinion, the show was one long wind-up to the production of the play Hamlet 2 towards the end of the film but I think the pay-off was definitely worth it. "Rock Me Sexy Jesus" I fear will be stuck in my head for days but it certainly lived up to all my expectations.
The thing I'm still not sure about is Steve Coogan. I would say I found him funny and that I enjoyed his Hamlet 2 performance but there is a quality I can't quite put my finger on that just makes me wonder whether I am truly getting what he is trying to do. I think I got him more in Tristram Shandy (have you rented it yet?) but there is some sort of edge or coldness which makes me hesitate to say that I am a true Steve Coogan fan. I've only seen snippets of Alan Partridge and not really gotten the humor there and I attempted to watch 24 Hour Party People on my DVR the other night but was easily distracted away. I will attempt to finish 24 Hour Party People before I pass judgment but I will put myself on the record as liking Steve Coogan pending review of further material.
Anyone out there a Steve Coogan fan? Care to explain why?
