Synopsis
Showing events from the point of view of two minor characters from Hamlet, men who have no control over their destiny, this film examines fate and asks if we can ever really know what’s going on? Are answers as important as the questions? Will Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (or Guildenstern and Rosencrantz) manage to discover the source of Hamlet’s malaise as requested by the new king? Will the mysterious players who are strolling around the castle reveal the secrets they evidently know? And whose serve is it? —IMDb

One of the best British comedies ever made! A very philosophical and observational driven story about two background characters from William Shakespeare's Hamlet. It doesn't rely on cheap slapstick comedy like recent comedies (i.e. The Hangover) Both Tim Roth and Gary Oldman make brilliant performances, along with Richard Dreyfuss who's fun to watch! An intellectual comedy that makes you think but, above all, laugh!
