Really liked this film from a few years ago. Seemed to slip through the cracks a bit, but I feel it's much better than the trailer makes it look.

Steve Coogan is just amazing and very funny. I can also see aspects of his character in many of my theatre obsessed friends. Catherine Keener has a small but very memorable role and Elisabeth Shue is delightfully self-depreciating as herself.

It follows the inspirational teacher movie tropes while at the same time making fun of them. And the actual play of Hamlet 2 that is glimpsed in the finale is quite something to behold. Most enjoyable. If you missed it, seek it out.
