Viewed as a parody of a parody, it certainly worked for me.
Some of the plot elements are utterly ludicrous, but that's
Jacobean black humour for you. But for my money, the best
movie adaption of a Revenge Tragedy is Juliet Taymor's
"Titus." It's weird and wonderful, even though the plot's as
full of holes as a colander and the character motivations are
often fairly dubious. Must have been nice writing for an
Elizabethan/Jacobean audience - suspension of disbelief never
seems to be a issue.
