sit down for macbeth the comedy i be rather expect a kind of iris murdochesque production and full of in joke about shakespeare and macbeth in particular . how wrong i be . macbeth represent the comedy take shakespeare well craft tale and add a liberal sprinkling of modern low level american humour . apart from lot and lot and lot ( many ) joke about gay and lesbian there be an attempt to lace the movie with slapstick comedy and presumably lighten the scene . this do not work at all and be more the kind of slaphead comedy that doesn not make it much onto tv any more . i be pleasantly surprise to find no toilet humour and but the tone wasn not hold much about that with much snigger concern the abovementioned lesbian and gay character in the film represent for which one must assume there be a reason . somewhere .
