It's simple, sizzly and very funny.
The first half of Scotland, PA is by far the funniest, with witty dialogue, hilariously ugly period fashions and hairstyles.
Funny? Yes, but in its slapdash way, it sounds nuttier than it plays.
This should have been a black comic masterpiece. The cast is certainly up to the task, even in the small roles.
Walken is so funny, he almost makes you forget this flick is one joke stretched thinner than Calista Flockhart.
This adolescent comic-noir trounces Shakespeare's "Macbeth," but Maura Tierney sizzles as a vengeful Lady Frycook.
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.
