Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Scotland, PA is a 2001 film written and directed by Billy Morrisette, starring James LeGros, Maura Tierney, and Christopher Walken.It's 1975, and Joe "Mac" McBeth and his wife Pat are too old to be flipping burgers at Duncan's Cafe. Both of them receive a brief vision of what life would be like with Joe as the head of the restaurant; naturally, Pat decides the best way to accomplish this is to kill Duncan and make it look like a robbery. So that's what they do.Under new management and a new name, the restaurant does great business. But forces, internal and external, threaten to tear everything apart. Banko, Mac's best friend, and Lt. McDuff, the detective investigating Duncan's murder, both have their suspicions about the local fast-food king and queen, while the happy couple themselves are driven mad by their guilt and paranoia.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })That's right, you've seen this story before. It's The Scottish Play, only this time it's in rural Pennsylvania in the '70s, and it's all played for laughs.Incidentally, there really is a village of Scotland in Pennsylvania. It's along I-81 about 50 miles southwest of Harrisburg.

Bloodless Carnage: For the most part. Doesn't make Duncan's murder any less grotesque.

Ambiguously Gay: Donald. It gets pretty blatant at the end. Hell, it's pretty blatant at the beginning. The two male witches have a lot of innuendo between them, even though they're supposedly two non-sexual partners in a polyamorous relationship.

Burger Fool: Allow us to repeat: This movie is The Scottish Play with the entire Kingdom of Scotland replaced by a small-town Burger Fool in south-central Pennsylvania. Unsubtly called McBeth's with a giant letter M as its logo.
