If you are looking for a truly funny film, rent Hamlet 2. The film is set in Tucson, Arizona and is about an actor cum high school drama teacher, Dana Marschz, who writes and directs the sequel to Hamlet. The sequel, of course, is a musical extravaganza. Although, the musical is at first met with vehement opposition (the show stopper, for example, is a song called"Rock Me Sexy Jesus"), the show ends up being a critical success and goes straight to Broadway. Marschz triumphantly takes his students to New York to star in the hit show. In the last scene of the movie, his student Chuy declares his love of New York and Marschz replies with complete conviction:
"Chuy, you're going to have a magical life. Because no matter where you go, it's always going to be better than Tucson."
I feel blessed in the same way having lived in Dallas. Low expectations are actually a gift. When anything positive happens you're always surprised and delighted.
