Title: Boring
Product review: This is an adaptation of Shakespeare's "Macbeth", told in the 1970's with James LeGros and Maura Tierney as Mac and Pat McBeth who work at Duncan's fast food restaurant. Before you know it, they've killed him and turned the restaurant into "McBeth's" with a huge M arch. Just like the original story, Pat and Mac start freaking out a bit when McDuff (Christopher Walken) doesn't accept the scapegoat they set up and starts investigating Duncan's murder further. All does not end well.Everyone else I talked to seemed to love this, so maybe it was just me, but apart from the three furies (Andy Dick is one of them) who tell McBeth's future with a magic 8 ball, and Christopher Walken's vegetarian,gentle McDuff, this all fell a bit flat. The comedy did not really stand out and all the characters are played so unsympathetically, that who cares what happens to them. Occasional glimmers of smart dialogue, but mainly this left me wanting to go read the original again.
