Movie trailers can be aggravating, giving away key moments and plot twists. The trailers for "Baby Mama" and "Made of Honor," for instance, revealed their respective films' funniest moments (and in the case of "Made of Honor," only funny moments).
But, just as I was growing melancholy over the state of trailers, along comes this one for August's "Hamlet 2" (above, via YouTube), a comedy about a high school drama teacher (Steve Coogan) who launches an un-PC sequel to the Shakespeare play.
I hadn't heard of "Hamlet 2" until I started researching my summer movie preview, which runs this Sunday in The Bee's Ticket+ section. But after watching the trailer several times, I now count "Hamlet 2," along with "Sex and the City" and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," among the films I most look forward to.
Check it out and see if you agree. (And by the way, the version above is the cleaned-up one. There's also a "red band" trailer).
