While it has been noted that this film isn't as full of expletives as other R-rated movies, the expletives are not casual conversation or ordinary reactions to unpleasant situations. Every expletive seems to be deliberately said so as to offend the audience...some of this may be due to the poor acting. Also the sexual jokes (including the scene of Coogan flashing) seem to have that same deliberate provoking intent. Also Coogan's character is not a very good role model, as is shown for example when teens drink in his presence and he doesn't stop them.

What Parents Need to Know
About Hamlet 2
Parents need to know that although this comedy is set in high school, it's not really a "teen comedy." In fact, it takes a no-holds-barred approach to poking fun at religion, theater, commercialism, racism, reproductive technologies, actors, the ACLU, and anything and everything else. One song is centered on a "rock star" version of Jesus, and there are plenty of jokes that some people may consider crude or vulgar. There are also scenes of underage drinking and drug use, a flash of a man's naked backside, and plenty of salty language.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the message behind all the over-the-top humor: Why is Marschz compelled to stage one more play, and an original one at that? What's the message of the play? Also, what prejudices does the film make fun of? Does it do an effective job of making its point? What would you say that point is? What genres is the movie satirizing?
