Title: To Yawn or Not to Yawn, That is the Question.
Product review: This is the absolute worst Shakespeare adaptation I have ever viewed; it was so horrid, I could only watch 45 minutes of it before I took it back to BlockBuster.The acting (?) was pitiful; Ethan Hawke meandered about the screen in what looked like a pointless daze. Claire Daines spent 90% of her camera time in an open-mouthed, slackjawed stupor, apparently attempting to garner an Oscar for Best Fly-Catching Performance. Bill Murray acted like he was still singing in a lounge on Saturday Night Live.If you can even get past the acting (?), there's the problem of the story - as in - where did it go? Quite a bit of the original storyline seems to be missing, making the title of "Hamlet" to be one of major deceit.Save your $3.50 and rent the Mel Gibson or Kenneth Branaugh version and let this one collect dust mites on the shelf.
