I don't know why Im saying that it is perfect. It just seems to be the only word that fits. Steve Coogan proved that he can act. Maybe not dramatic acting but good well-rounded acting. The comedy is very well done, its subtle but not too subtle and the when its supposed to be funny it is!!! They didn't over do the comedy. There was a nice mix of seriousness and laughter but the entire time the movie holds the undertone of "wow this guy is f***ing silly, but funny". I normally hate musicals but these songs were pretty good and catchy. Like I said before, the way everything came together I can only describe it as perfect. Just the perfect movie, for the type that it was. Im not saying its oscar worthy or anything, but it definitely holds it own in my book. Ill be seeing it again. All I can say is that im happy that I saw this movie. And while it may not be for everyone, you should still go see it. Cuz its worth it.

This is better than 95% of the cookie cutter romatic comedies, coming-of-age, and saving-the-children flicks made. Realistic? No, but everyone knows a teacher or co-worker who is so unconsciously incompetent that it is painful to watch them--and this movie relates. Not only to the poor boob, but also to the people affected by their eccintricities--except that, now, we are allowed to laugh. Rock me sexy Jesus needs to be nominated for an Oscar. Not only is it original, it is intregral to the story: it's not just some fluffy pop song rolling during the credits. This is a smart movie for smart people. It will not appeal to all.

I honestly did not know what to expect from this movie. I hadn't read any reviews and had only read the prequel (Hamlet 1: Death in Denmark), so I had fairly low expectations. But this thang blew the original out of the water. I think they must have gotten a new writer for this one or something. Set in modern day Tucson this film tracks the extraordinary life of an ordinary drama teacher as he struggles with love, death, existential angst, racism, unfair artistic criticism and, of course, Elizabeth Shue. I felt the whole range of human emotion as I sat in the dark watching this masterpiece unfold. From out-loud laughter (through most of the film) to tears (from laughing). If you enjoy off-beat, odd, uncomfortable humor you'll love this movie. However, if you're a lamea$$ with absolutely no sense of humor, like the two old ladies sitting next to me who left half-way through, you'll hate it. This movie had the originality of Napoleon Dynamite mixed with the rauchness of Team America. GO!

Have we seen this show before? Sort of... Is it brilliant? Sort of... Is it well acted? Definitely! Is it politically correct? ABSOLUTELY NOT! Is it funny? ABSOLUTELY!!! It was really nice, for a change, to see a comedy that wasn't all gross outs and fart jokes. It was smart, tightly written, and a great deal of fun. Granted, I had a rough day prior to seeing the movie, so I was ready (greatly hoping) to enjoy myself. And I did... It was like throwing the humor of "Hot Fuzz", the human breakdown hilarity of "Little Miss Sunshine", and a classic high school musical turned movie a'la "Grease" or "Hairspray" into a blender and hitting frappe! Viola ~ a comic smoothie worth savoring. The writers Pam Brady and Andrew Fleming (who also directed) did an excellent job with a tight script and several great studies in human quixotic'ness. Coogan is just amazing, some killer acting. The supporting cast and stars were superb as well and OMG - Elisabeth Shue ROCKS! See the show have fun!

Obviously this isn't a movie that will be winning an academy award. How many movies have been made about Christianity and religion in a positive way? Just because SOME people are blinded by faith, doesn't make it the truth, or standard for everyone else to believe. "Blasphemy's" in a movie? You have GOT to be kidding me?? Every movie that you watch that has any murder, sex, violence, cursing, or any self indulged actor in it could be called a blasphemy. Lighten up and get over your God complex, it's a movie!! This looks like a brilliant satire to start exactly what this country needs: Non ignorant, light hearted people to poke fun at how serious and dilllusion religions are. Do some research and really take a look at the movie, and your religion before you start using the word "blasphemy", or judge it. After all, if you're religious, do not judge, if not religious then go see the movie and enjoy!
