    Funny! Walken is brilliant and the cast plays tongue-in-cheek so seriously I found myself laughing out loud. You either get the joke or it goes over your head and you should be watching Disney films instead.

    Not your typical mass-produced Hollywood production, this film is witty without being overly slick.

    Not funny. Tried too hard to be clever. That's 97 minutes of my life I'll never get back!

    I bought the movie on DVD because I had never heard of it before.....I gennerally buy movies as opposed to renting them....I found it a wonderful movie, especially for a first time writer/director. I am upset that it did not recieve wider theatre distribution, but I would recomend this movie to anyone looking for a dark commedy that is hip and contemporary.

    Amazing. This is by far my favorite movie of all time. Morrissette did a fabulous job of retelling the classic Shakespearian play of McBeth.

    Just another hamburger joint with mediocre burgs and slightly cold fries.

    Writer-director Billy Morrissette doesn't have much feeling for satire -- or for Shakespeare. This is a comedy for people who couldn't make it through the CliffsNotes.

    Blurs the line between black comedy and black hole.

    I have the curious suspicion that it will be enjoyed most by someone who knows absolutely nothing about Shakespeare, and can see it simply as the story of some very strange people who seem to be reading from the same secret script.
