Review by afhick

This is a rather pleasant little outing from the Troma team. I was, frankly, a bit let down by its tameness. Even some of the acting was good! The film purports to be a satire in the "spririt" of Spinal Tap, but that vein was mined years ago by better films. That being said, any film that ends with an amateur production of Hamlet, staged in a nursing home, at least has its heart in the right place. The reactions of the seniors are genuinely touching. This from the team that gave you the Toxic Avenger! The story of Rich Longfellow's rise to stardom in the porn biz should have been a lot funnier, however. Shakespeare in and Out is no Boogie Nights, and Rich is no Dirk Diggler. But, if you've got eighty minutes to kill some night, it's better than reruns of Law and Order.
