Hamlet (1997)

* 1/2 (out of 4)

If you happen to accidentally rent this expecting Olivier it won't take long for you to hit the eject button. This "version" of the classic Shakespeare play is actually just another set up for yet another hardcore movie by D'Amato. Here, the question is "to screw or not to screw", which is haunting the young Hamlet who gets advice from his naughty mother as well as the ghost of his dead father who was known for his sexual acts. OK, obviously only fans of D'Amato are going to view this film so they're going to know what they're getting into. The actual "story" here is fairly funny as a spoof as D'Amato keeps the dialogue changing and while it's childish, in a sexual way, it still manages to be funny. The sex scenes really aren't all that sexy although I assume they're done well enough to where fans of porn wouldn't mind watching this. The cinematography, also by D'Amato, is the best thing which is often the case with his later day venture into these porn movies.
