Offers more mild amusement than outright laughs...
05/20/08
Top CriticThis should have been a black comic masterpiece.
12/06/05
... can’t be dismissed as a vanity project
08/08/05
A slyly macabre fantasia that works on its own demented terms.
12/02/02
It's as nourishing as a Big Mac with fries.
10/23/02
It's a setup so easy it borders on facile, but keeping the film from cheap-shot mediocrity is its crack cast.
10/21/02
An uneven parody that sometimes amuses but just as often annoys.
10/21/02
Quite possibly the best "modernizing" of a Shakespeare tale in recent memory.
07/09/02
McBeth's personal karmageddon builds with comedy and tragedy in equal measure, without being as long as the original.
07/01/02
Very clever writing and great casting make this a comedy that's fun to watch even if you're not familiar with the source material.
06/28/02
If you keep a list of films you want to see one way or another, you would be doing yourself a service by keeping this film high up on that list.
06/17/02
It’s not exactly a gourmet meal but the fare is fair, even coming from the drive-thru.
06/07/02
There are some truly wacky parallels with Shakespeare's play.
05/10/02
Top CriticUnderachieves only in not taking the Shakespeare parallels quite far enough.
04/26/02
The combined talents of cast and crew create a new take on an enduring drama that pairs nicely with a side order of kitsch.
04/25/02
As flaccid and undistinguished as star James LeGros’s period wig.
04/19/02
This spawn of William Shakespeare and Ray Kroc has more fun with [the] thin premise than you might expect, mostly because of Maura Tierney.
04/11/02
A disappointment for those who love alternate versions of the Bard, particularly ones that involve deep fryers and hamburgers.
