1847 New York, where Edwin Forrest holds the undisputed title as the country’s top Shakespearean actor. Playing magnificently to a sold out, raucous crowd every night, Edwin is ‘The Star.'” But when critically celebrated English thespian William MacCready arrives from London to perform his sophisticated Hamlet, Edwin’s title is thrown into jeopardy. Each man wants what the other has, and the rivalry between them starts a hilarious and unforgettable battle of egos.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
