Andrew Rally seems to have it all: celebrity and acclaim for his starring role in a hit tv series; a rich, beautiful girlfriend; a glamorous, devoted agent; the perfect New York apartment; and the chance to play Hamlet in Central Park. There are, however, a couple of glitches in paradise. Andrew’s series has been cancelled; his girlfriend is clinging to her virginity with unyielding conviction; and he has no desire to play Hamlet.
When Andrew’s agent reminisces about her brief romance many years ago in Andrew’s apartment with John Barrymore, a séance is performed to summon his ghost. Hilarity ensues as Barrymore returns, in high Shakespearean garb, to coach Andrew through the role of a lifetime – Hamlet. The laughs are nonstop as Andrew wrestles with his conscience, Barrymore, his sword, and the fact that he fails as Hamlet in Central Park.
