blt_tana I love this movie! I love how the plot and set up of the movie ties in nicely with the original Shakespeare play, MacBeth. The characters are wonderfully written and the actors are great. It's a dark comedy kinda sorta, and the movie doesn't exactly draw you into it. I've seen it a couple of times and I'm still not all clued into the plot line. I didn't read MacBeth in high school, I read Hamlet. But if you know the general plot line of MacBeth, then you know the general plot line of this movie. The movie starts out with Macbeth and his wife, Pat working in a restaurant. They're really good friends with the owner, Duncan. But Pat wants more, and so, with the gypsies, they twist MacBeth into eventually killing Mr. Duncan and his best friend, Dubencko. I love how they work in Pat's spot to plague her! It's so friggin' funny! Anyways, you'll get a good laugh out of it, if you're into laughing at dark situations. :-)

bryanmertz I enjoyed this film. One thing that really stood out to me, was the near perfect capture of 70's decor, etc. on the sets.As everyone else pointed out - this is a blatant Mcbeth tail, albeit in 70's middle America. The cast delivers timely, dry humor, and stay tru to their characters.

EmperorNortonII Is this a burger that I see before me? "Scotland, Pa." is a movie with an interesting concept. It takes the Shakespearean play "Macbeth," and gives it a new setting, a fast-food hamburger stand in 1970's Pennsylvania. "Scotland, Pa." succeeds as a black comedy. One of its best quality is its use of music, especially the Bad Company "rock block." I'll bet a lot of Shakespeare aficionados will not think too well of this movie. But anyone else can enjoy it for its absurdity.

redpony9186 Lately, I've been forcing everyone I know to watch this film. It may not go down in history, but it is hilariously funny--especially if you don't take it too seriously! People need to chill out a bit about it, and not try to analyze it too deeply. It's a funny 1970's version of Macbeth with fabulous actors and actresses, and while much of its comedy comes from its similarites to the play, much of the comedy stands on its own. It's a great update, and I don't think it should be compared to films like "Shakespeare in Love" because the idea is completely different. It's not too violent of a black comedy, either, though moments like the killing of Duncan are outright hilarious. Take smaller moments, too, like when the children play with the body of Banco as it's being taken away. The acting is excellent--Tierney, Le Gros, Walkin...what else do I have to say? It's a fun film that I think you should see.
