Quite possibly the best comedy I've seen in years., 30 March 2009
Author: coolvin91 from United States

Ever since the first trailer was released, I've been extremely interested in "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead" and I was lucky enough to live 5 hours away from Dallas where it screened yesterday.

My first impressions were that this was an indie comedy so I was expecting a few laughs with some drama and all of the other things expected of those kinds of films, but I was (un)dead wrong... Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead is silly to the core (with a hint of Wes Anderson's style)...and it WORKED! The humor was so well done, whether it be vampires turning into clothed skeletons when killed or the crazy secret agent lady who is always in a different disguise every time you see her, it always works. I can't remember rolling my eyes ONCE at a failed joke or gag. The acting was very good. The actors knew their characters and never over-did it which is a problem in a ton of comedies. The woman from the Cingular "Left over minutes" commercial did an outstanding job as the 'secret agent' tracking the vampires! Very funny! The production values were VERY good too. The film looked wide-release worthy, although it will probably get limited because it wasn't produced by Judd Apatow... The effects were also pretty good (unless they were purposefully made bad for humor).

I can't really explain how awesome this movie was! I'm just here to confirm that this was one awesome vampire comedy. Go see it as soon as you can and bring all of your friends!

My rating 10/10.
