    Stupid but amusing

    The plot: A vampire infiltrates the off-Broadway community, intending to feed on the cast and crew, after putting on his avant-garde re-interpretation of Hamlet.

    When I saw the title, I figured this was going to be an unwatchable mess. Still, since I'm such a huge fan of Stoppard's play, I figured that I'd give it a chance. Hell, I've watched more Troma movies than anyone I know, so it's not like I have any right to say that I have standards.

    I steeled myself for lame theater puns and ironic references to the Stoppard play, but I was actually quite surprised. Yes, there are lame theater puns and a couple references to the Stoppard play, but this is more properly a parody of Hamlet and Dracula. Depending on your tolerance for unsophisticated humor, you may even find it funny. It's not really all that witty or intelligent, but it's stupid and wacky enough to be mildly amusing, much like Troma movies.

    6/10 might be a bit generous, but, for those us out there who are very easily amused, I think you could do worse.

    Stupid, awful, unfunny, bad movie ever made !

    This movie is so confusing and weird The plot: about the Vampire named Theo went into a theater and killed a woman there, even this film turned to the character of Justin a director and playboy who likes to change girlfriends .... This movie is so boring, weird, and not funny .. Although this movie is labeled comedy genre but not funny at all ... Too much drama .. I thought this was a horror movie .. Ohhh wasted my time ... Do not watch this movie and do not waste your time .... If not yes you just watch this movie to feel its strangeness

    Laugh Much Lately?

    This is, definitely, one of the funniest films I have ever seen in my life! I don't think I've even taken more than a 5 min. break from laughing! The only things I don't like about this film are that I didn't get to see more of Hamlet (Joey Kern), I would like to hear and see more of the bizarre adaption of the play, "Hamlet"; there weren't any lyrical songs in the film and I prefer the piano version of the score, played by Sean Lennon. Both Jordan Galland and Sean Lennon did a great job with the other 2 songs they composed together, though. Other than that, this film is great for those who love comedies and people in need of a great, whole-hearted and hardy laugh.

    R&G R Unfunny

    ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN ARE UNFUNNY. Despite a clever concept and one or two witty moments, the film (which deals with vampires, not zombies) isn't all that amusing. The good news is that the film is well produced with good production values all around. Bit parts are filled out by the likes of Ralph Maccio, Jeremy Sisto and Chip Zien (the Baker from Sondheim's INTO THE WOODS). But in place of comic bite, R&G delivers a muddled plot that wouldn't be feasible to the least lively corpse. I found it amusing that the lead character Julian Marsh shares his name with the lead character in 42nd STREET, the ultimate show-biz flick. But is this cleverness, or mere coincidence? I'm not sure - and therein lies 'the rub'.

    A brilliant film that has successfully brought new life to Shakespeare's characters! Roesncrantz and Guildenstern are truly Undead

    Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead is quite 'brilliant' cleverly written & directed by Jordan Galland with the exceptionally beautiful musical score by Sean Lennon which seems to breathe life and color to the story and the players ,they have successfully brought new life to Shakespeares characters , not an easy feat by any means.Everything in this film works seamlessly ,the players the direction , the musical score I have always thought 'arthouse' was the most pure and authentic of all film making, it is from here that some of the best films ever made have been born.Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead will certainly live on.If you are really really "lucky" you get the opportunity to share in something truly special such is the experience of seeing the work of a brilliant young film maker , Jordan has sealed his place in the world of film making with this iconic production ,and as he continues to write and produce other works he will join the list of outstanding film makers
