Julia Stiles was good. That's all I can really say about this. I had nearly no knowledge of this play whatsoever. The only thing I knew about this play was from a random comment on an episode "Third Rock From The Sun" about how Hamlet resembled the Lion King (give me a break, I'm only 15). I really should've thumbed through the Cliffs Notes before heading off to see this. I figured out most of what was happening after a while, but I still don't get I didn't get why Bill Murray hated Hamlet, and I don't get why they put all the microphones and stuff on Ophelia (to make sure that she broke up with him?) Parts of the Ophelia storyline seemed severely edited and completely confused me. I guess you were supposed to pick most of it up in that scene where her brother steals her hair clip? I can't grade this movie, due to the fact that I didn't understand it. A note to the editor and director: How is it that you probably watched this movie a billion times before it's release, but you didn't cut out the boom mikes? I bet everyone in the audience noticed the one in that scene before Ophelia's death.
