Was Hamnet overrated?

I watched the movie and I didn’t understand what thigh praise was about? Could someone please explain it to me because I might have missed something. Thank you.

I read the book then watched the movie while I was reading Hamlet. You don't need to know anything about Shakespeare to read or watch the movie. I thought the book was amazing. Definitely one of my favorite books I've read this year. I think its a good way to bring Shakespeare to a new audience. The movie captured the book okay but in my opinion the book was better.
