Something Rotten

A hip and clever contemporary retelling of Hamlet as a murder mystery. Horatio Wilkes has come to stay with his best friend Hamilton at the Prince mansion in Denmark, Tennessee, for summer vacation. Little does he know that mystery is afoot. The guys see a videotape on which Hamilton's father says he's been murdered. There are plenty of suspects too: an ex-girlfriend, a new stepfather, a remarried mother, servants, and even a media mogul. The guys find clues, question suspects, and ultimately discover who the killer is and ingeniously bring him to justice.
