The line between sublime and stupid is a fine one

‘Hamlet 2′ – Los Angeles Times.

I suppose my post title could apply to the movie as well.  I haven’t seen it and I’m not sure I will.  Just not my normally preferred brand of comedy.  But what caught my eye was this snippet from the LA Times review:

The one bright spot in Marschz’s life is his discovery that his favorite actress of all time, Elisabeth Shue (deftly played by Shue herself), having tired of the dark side of the business, now works as a nurse at the nearby Prickly Pear Fertility Clinic. (emphasis added)

Now, this line made me laugh out loud.  I absolutely can’t tell whether the author is being sarcastic or if he is indicating that in an effort to portray herself, Elisabeth Shue actually pulls it off convincingly.  Either way, I think its the best line I’ve heard in quite awhile.
