Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

dan-private The cast played Shakespeare.Shakespeare lost.I appreciate that this is trying to bring Shakespeare to the masses, but why ruin something so good.Is it because 'The Scottish Play' is my favorite Shakespeare? I do not know. What I do know is that a certain Rev Bowdler (hence bowdlerization) tried to do something similar in the Victorian era.In other words, you cannot improve perfection.I have no more to write but as I have to write at least ten lines of text (and English composition was never my forte I will just have to keep going and say that this movie, as the saying goes, just does not cut it.

Jenmuse-2 This film is full of quirk, which I love. The one liners alone made the movie all worth it. 'The foul was foul' 'And the fair was fair' I'll admit this film isn't for everyone. But I laughed the whole way through. It was also refreshing to see James LeGros and M. Tierney playing characters so out of type. 'And I don't want one of those baby s**t-a** tubes, I need a vat of it'. Like the classic it was penned to mimic, it delivered a great story of envy, greed, betrayal and karmic redemption. Christopher Walken aside, I was surprised at what a first time filmmaker and what I'd consider a bunch of B-list actors could do. 'Mr. McBeth come take a look at your wife's beautiful cones!' If you like quirk and Bad Company, this movie is for you.

daniel-p-gallagher Scotland PA presumes you've read MacBeth or seen MacBeth. It's necessary. If you haven't seen the play or read the play, you probably won't like the movie. If you have seen the play or read the play, and you expect the movie to be a faithful remake, you'll be disappointed. This movie is deliberate in the liberties it takes with the DEVELOPMENT of the plot, while remaining true to the plot itself. IF: You know the play, and enjoy the story, you may like this movie.If you also identify with either the 1970s or Pennsylvania rural life, you'll enjoy the movie. If you are interested in seeing a movie that combines a classic, familiar story with a unique style and modern film making wit, and most of all, if you are willing to watch a movie that has emotion, irony, style, and poise, you'll enjoy Scotland PA.

laura2001 Okay, so the idea sounds absurd. The film is absurd. It's also fantastic. The writing was extremely well done (although it was horrendously obvious that Morrisette had beefed up the Lady Macbeth part for Tierney), the dialogue was witty and never seemed out of place coming from the characters. And the soundtrack was just fantastic, and had me giggling with the sheer hilarity of having "Can't get enough of your love" playing as Macbeth heaves up his big ol' saucepan.But what really makes this film is the cast. Walken is his usual genius self, waltzing in and claiming his role as his own, playing the straight laced all seeing cop perfectly. LeGros is perfectly slouchy and dopey as McBeth, Banko is hilariously inept. But the one who really outshone the rest was Tierney. After playing the good girl for so long, she's really pulled out all the stops here. She delivers each curse like a true pro, does manipulation like she's being doing it her whole life, and yet still manages to gain sympathy from the audience. And you can really tell they all had an absolute blast making this movie, their joy really shines on through. It's a definite must-see!
