Summary: Not as bad as you'd think
Review: Despite Bob and David's own scathing reviews and the at times slow pace of the film, Run Ronnie Run still stands as one of the best comedies in recent years.
Keeping in mind that Bob and David originally wanted to do an entirely different film but were pressured into making a Ronnie Dobbs movie.
Keeping in mind that Bob and David were eventually snaked by Troy Miller when they were barred from partaking in the editing process.
Keeping in mind that the story is thin and the pace fluctuates between raging Mr. Show hyper-irony and dull Hollywood shlock.
It's really not that bad of a movie.
The Thrilling Miracles segment was pure twisted genius.
The 3 Times 1 Minus 1 video was perhaps the most pointed take on...RnB love songs yet.
And the Ass Kicking Fat Kid scene was the best hurried plot resolution device I've ever seen.
Even if the plot was trite, characters thin and the pace slow, the calibre of comedy in this film is still unmatched by any movies of late and more than made up for its flaws.

Summary: Not a Mr. Show fan friendly movie.
Review: I am a Mr. Show fan and I have to tell you before purchasing this to not let the fact that it is from Bob and David fool you. This movie was made by New Line to appeal to the "main-stream" in order to do so they basically removed most of what made Mr. Show so great: Wacky, inane, and off the wall fast-paced humor.Instead Troy Miller of Dumb & Dumberer imfamy made this into a 90 minute running gag that unfortunately slowed to a slow walk at about 15 minutes. There are brief cameos from some Celebs like Jeff Goldblum, Laura Kightlinger, Matt Stone, Trey Parker, Scott Thompson, and Maynard from Tool. As well as Mr. Show Alums like Brian Poeshen, Tom Kenny, Mary Lynn Rashkub and Jill Talley actually has a big role in the film. That being said there is still a few flashes of brilliance which are without a doubt Bob and David's work. A parody of Survivor, the crazy explainations of Ronnie Dobbs and a great animation/live action cut featuring Jack Black. Unfortunately though that doesn't make up for the complete lack of plot and much needed insertion of humor. I don't blame Bob and David, I would put this disaster solely on Troy Miller and New Line Cinema for not allowing them to make a movie for Mr. Show fans. I think you're money would be better spent getting the new Mr. Show Season 3 DVD, it will showcase Bob and David's skills much better to people.

Summary: Gut buster!
Review: Ok people, put down your wine glasses and foie gras appetizers. Gosh, what a bunch of snobs. This movie is funny, F-U-N-N-Y, funny. If you're looking for complex plot, and clever humor, you shouldn't pick up a film that has the words "from doin' time to prime time" on it. Seems like a simple premise to me. My brother insisted that I watch this movie, and, admittedly, after seeing the title, I was reluctant initially. After many, and finally, painful laughs, I have decided that I was rewarded with what I expected: a funny movie. Nothing more. (Note: If you are a stodgy, dry type, please don't view this movie. Go out with your uptight pseudo-friends, and make fun of the rest of us "common people." If you have the ability to laugh occasionally, make fun of yourself, and don't take yourself too seriously, grab a beer, or two, and watch this. You won't be disappointed!)

Summary: Decent, But Not Worthy of Odie & Cross
Review: Let's face it, Run Ronnie Run was made to be a mainstream movie. And it's a very good mainstream movie. But, followers of The Bob and David, it's not OUR movie. It's not OUR Mr. Show, hell, Tom Kenny plays a couple (albeit hilarious) bit roles, John Ennis barely appears, and Paul Tompkins and Jay Johnston don't even appear in the original movie. That said, there are some hilarious moments, including Jack Black's performance in the children's film, 3x1-1, Tom Kenny as Trey Brackish, and Dave Foley, Andy Richter, and Sarah Silverman were terrific in their brief appearences. DVD probably has some of the best deleted scenes of any movie out there, and should've been in the film. Let's hope the "super cut" Bob & David (Who were better than their material) and Troy made is worthy of our expectations. Teradaloo.

Summary: Unfunny. Totally, brutally unfunny
Review: I don't think I've ever seen a fanbase more blindly loyal than Bob and David's. "Mr. Show" was boring, lame postmodern sketch comedy created by actors with a shocking lack of originality and an all-engulfing smugness. It quoted pop culture without commenting on it, mixed up timelines for no reason, and presented the unoriginal convention of actors pulling themselves out of paper-thin characters, then back in again. I have never seen anything so unfunny and artless generate such buzz amongst hipsters, who never quit reminding you how much more clever and educated they are than the average Joe. That is, until I was finally forced into watching Run Ronnie Run. It started as a very stupid riff on "Cops" in one of "Mr. Show's" early episodes (maybe even the first one), where its deconstruction was so surface-level that I can sum up the entire thing in one sentence: Ronnie Dobbs is a white-trash screw-up (with a mullet! ha ha!) who gets drunk, then arrested, serially. Hilarious. Who woulda thunk of such a creative setup? Except, of course, for just about every sketch comedy show and live improv group I've ever seen. If you think "Zippy the Pinhead" is "brilliant," this'll be right up your alley. If you are fourteen years old and think profanity is "cutting edge," you're in for the time of your life. If it just blows your mind that comics would step out of character and address the camera, you need to see more movies and art. Sad.

Summary: How on Earth did Bob and David let this happen?
Review: I'm probably a lot like the other people who sought out "Run Ronnie Run": I'm a huge fan of 'Mr. Show'. I figured even if the mainstream didn't "get it" (a la BASEketball), I'd watch the movie and get a few good chuckles anyway. Nuh-uh. For a movie that's supposed to be a comedy, there's scarce humor in the first twenty minutes; we plod along from one scene of Ronnie's life to the next with no energy, no enthusiasm, no point. We learn that Ronnie Dobbs is a dimwit, but so what? You'd know that if you started the movie with the amusing house-chase scene, and ran it from there. 'Mr. Show' brought the hard stuff to the party with a variety of characters from Cross, Odenkirk, and their ensemble. In 'Run Ronnie Run' they're all are stuck, with few exceptions, slogging through the same characters throughout. I can't help but feel that if they'd put on some wigs and varied things up a bit more (as the Monty Python players did in their classics), the movie could have been a real hoot. If you stick with the movie long enough to be amazed at all the cameos, eventually you'll laugh. (How is it that bits like the "Gay Conspiracy" weren't worked in more often, anyway?) But it's just not worth the effort to get there; it is, in fact, a sadistic reminder of Bob and David's absence from HBO. But hey, if a franchise can recover from 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture', then anything is possible. Here's hoping 'Mr. Show' gets another feature sometime down the road.

Summary: yowling funny
Review: This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. I would'nt
listen to anyone that didn't like this movie. I don't get that.
I think some people just don't know how to laugh. It also has
one of my favorite girls in the world in it. Nikki Cox. Yeah

Summary: Ya'll Are Brutalizin' This Film!
Review: Okay, so it's not as funny as Mr. Show, but, hey, honestly, nothing is as funny as Mr. Show ... (sorry Trey and Matt, I'm a recent convert)! This movie is still flat-out terrific, even if Bob and David don't endorse it themselves ... it seems like their dislike of the film might be more to do with disillusionment over the final product and less regarding actual disparagement of what was made. Personally - and I'm not the only "person" holding this view - I thought that this film captured (no pun intended) Ronnie Dobbs in a manner that Mr. Show never could have, and made him human - whereas before he was simply a hilarious charicature. It seems to me that there was NO WAY to stretch "FUZZ: the musical" into a full length film unless there were significant changes made to the Ronnie and Terry characters. No one does latent homosexuality better than Bob and David, and curse me for saying so, but that little bit of homo-happiness came across as damn sweet in this movie. Ronnie's love for Tammy was also a fabulous motivating force, and really improved upon the "wife-beatin'-911-it's-me-again" Ronnie (simply because what's funny in a sketch show must be altered to incorporate an overaraching storyline). I truly liked the "new" Terry, who actually cared for Ronnie rather than wanting to exploit him - as in the first ep, first season of Mr. Show. If a wonderfully written, well-sung and acted brilliant film isn't enough for you, the appearances by Trey and Matt, Jack Black, Scott Thompson, John and Rebecca, Jeff Goldblum et al. should make the film more than worth watching. Can a man not make a film in silence - that is, from fans who turn rabid at the slightest change in content and style?

Summary: Probably one of the greats, give it a shot
Review: I don't normally enjoy gross out humor, which this movie has some bits of, but this movie has definitely made my top 10 list alongside "Best in Show", "Caddyshack", "Office Space" and the like. It's one of those movies that you can watch over and over. It's bound to become a classic.I'd never seen the "Mr. Show" (still haven't) but gave this movie a shot based on the recommendations of some friends & now give copies to all my friends.
