Summary: Joe Dirt - Only Much Better
Review: I believe this movie was actually written and filmed before Joe Dirt, but not released in time, as "thunder" from this "genre" was stolen by more well known, and less funny David Spade. It is a shame, because even though Bob Odenkirk and David Cross have produced much better work than this, it is still miles better than the half-decent Joe Dirt.If you have never heard of Mr. Show with Bob and David, but are in the mood for some semi-intelligent white trash laughs, check this one out. Mr. Show die-hard fans will enjoy the opportunity to see the old cast of characters back together again. If you are a fan of Mr. Show, do not hesitate to buy this DVD.

Summary: Pretty good
Review: If you are a fan of "Mr Show", just buy this, you will love it. If you have never seen Mr Show, I'd recommend checking out the recent DVDs released before you pick this up, because a lot of the humor will be lost on you. It's not a great movie, but all and all, it's very funny. The best part is the scene with the "fat kid"... Bob and David fans, grab this one!

Summary: Off-beat shenanigans at its best!
Review: If you enjoy slightly non-P.C. humor then you will simply love this flic! A masterful and hilarious film that has not been given enough love from it's creators...is now finally making its way to prime time. If you love mullets, trailer parks, and the insanity that encompasses them then you're in for a great ride!

Summary: Mr. Show the Movie (2 viewings required for full hilarity)
Review: Because Mr. Show raised the bar so high for modern sketch comedy, they actually should have probably left this project alone. A movie just isn't the right medium for the scattershot social satire of the series. That being said I love this movie, it is hilarious and very much in the spirit of the program. A couple of scenes could use some editing and tightening but overall it achieves its goal. Bob and David denounce this film on their web site, but come on guys, at least people are finally gonna get a chance to see it. Which pleases every Mr. Show fan I know. Highlights are Terry Twillstein's invention photos, Jack Black's song and dance, Mandy Patikin's broadway song as Ronnie.

Summary: Hmm...i dunno...
Review: I was excited when i heard Bob and David say they were making this film on Dennis Miller live. I mean those two are some of the funniest guys out there, their show "Mr. Show" was an absolute brilliant piece of work. For some reason, the film was still in the "shooting" stage for several years. Once it was done it was never released in theatres, aside from being shown at the cannes film festival. I often wondered why it never came out....until i saw it. I wasnt exactly sure how how i'd describe this film until i told my brother about it. He and i both being huge Mr. Show fans. When i told him just about everything about the film he said "So....it's one of those films that has some funny stuff in it but it'd otherwise kind of hard to watch?" Yeah that about sums it up. About the biggest problem with the film is the Ronnie Dobbs character himself. In the Mr. Show episodes he was a low class, angry, violent, idiotic, self-centered a-hole. However, that really is what makes him funny. The film sort of tones that side of him down and tries to create a sort of sweet side to him, to make him more appealing i suppose. Ronnie has some sort of crush on some trailer park chick named tammy (no, its really not as funny as it sounds). You might remember tammy from a few scenes in Mr. Show. One scene where she's ratting him out to the cops as he shouts "Lying B$%ch!" over and over. Another where he meets up with her after being and jail, and noticing that she's pregnent remarks "Ok who you been F#&$ing? It travis?" While thats not nice stuff to say, for some reason its halarious to see that complete lack of empathy. Which is, once again, the ronnie dobbs charm. No such luck in this movie though. He's quite tame in his remarks and actions, he basically spends most of the film trying to win tammy. Wasnt that the plot to Joe dirt? And didnt joe dirt show that you cant really have a low class, idiotic, self centered a-hole who's also lovable? One or the other here fellas. I only saw one small scene in the movie where i actually recognized the Mr. Show character. After becoming rich and famous, but still not attaining tammy, he thinks of an idea to make her jealous by introducing her to the beer model he's been dating. The plan backfires and ronnie just upsets both women. After tammy leaves, upset, ronnie remarks to the beer model "way to go b&^ch, you blew it". She slaps him and leaves as well. Thats about all you can expect in the ways of a Mr. Show ronnie. There are lots of surprisingly funny scenes, one involving R. Lee Ermy and a fat kid and others with the pop group "three times one minus one", but i'd say about 50% of the film is just dead air. There's scenes that sort of try to be funny, but just come off as dumb or banal, or even just weird. such as ronnie meets a korean kid in a wheelchair who has some sort of terminal foot disorder and needs some kind of special shoes. For some reason...david's voice is dubbed over the kids. But even more strage is that Ronnie just starts wistfully dreaming out loud about the things he'd do to keep the kid from getting his special shoes. It comes off as odd seeing how much work they put into making ronnie some kind of lovable guy. The basic plot is bizarre. You can tell an entire team of writers were working on it and pieced their work together in some sort of shoddy, hacked together final draft. All in all the story could of been told in about a half hour. You can basically tell how it's going to end about 10 minutes into the film. All in all, my brother said it best. Theres funny stuff yeah....but you'll find yourself wandering into other rooms to do things while watching this film; or wearing out your fast forward button.

Summary: thoroughly deplorable
Review: this film was described by bob and david themselves as "a giant [...] that we took". apparently the film was taken away from the two genius comedians and hacked to pieces by the studio and the director, hoping to make a mainstream comedy out of absurdist material. the story goes that for every nine hilarious, trademark "mr. show" type jokes, there would be one fart gag, and that fart gag would go in to the final cut at the expense of everything else. at least, it seems that way, because there are really good jokes struggling to crawl out of tedious, limp exercises in celebrity cameos and now-dated topical humor. the bit with the "fooderator" (it totally destroys food!) should be priceless, but you end up paying quite a bit for it when you think of all the unfunny, bland, trite stuff that surrounds it. david looks physically uncomfortable trying to maintain a comical southern demeanor throughout the film, and the cinematography and editing are far below the standard set by "mr. show". it's exhausting and disheartening to get through this film. but it's to bob and david's credit that despite this debacle they're still working and doing the funniest work of their careers. i'm sure that their next project will more than make up for this disappointing failure. but the only reason to buy this dvd is to hope that bob and david maybe might get a cent out of it (which I sincerely doubt).

Summary: Unfocused But Still Funny As Heck
Review: Let me start off by saying that Run Ronnie Run is FUNNY AS HECK. I have never seen a movie that was so crammed with jokes and gags! The humor, which is a refreshing blend of silliness and satire, never lets up, and keeps coming even at the points where other comedies usually dry up and turn serious in order to advance the plot. The performances are energetic and delightfully outrageous, there are hilarious cameos, and there are countless sly and hysterical surpises sprinkled throughout. Fans of Bob and David will NOT be dissapointed. My main problem with Run Ronnie Run (and the reason I'm not giving it more stars) is the total lack of care the writers gave to the film's plot. The writers clearly didn't take the plot or the story the LEAST bit seriously, and the movie suffers for it. Even though the jokes and gags are howlingly funny, in the end you just have the feeling that there wasn't any POINT. And the occasional non-related sketches that appear periodically throughout Run Ronnie Run, while still funny, disrupt what little narrative there is and really only serve to distract the audience. (Do the interruptions from an elderly "film valedictorian" or the parody R&B music video that appears halfway though the movie REALLY have anything to do with Ronnie's story?) Perhaps you could say that the "point" of the movie was just to have fun and laugh. If that's the case, why didn't the film makers (who all have a background in sketch comedy) just write 90 minutes of sketches instead of giving us a weak, hollow story with nothing to say? In order for an audience to invest in a movie (even a comedy), there needs to be at least SOME kind of semi-interesting story to be able to follow and care about. Run Ronnie Run does not have this. But I must say that in spite of it's faults, RUN RONNIE RUN STILL RISES WAY ABOVE THE AVERAGE COMEDY MOVIE. If anything saves this movie, it's definately the jokes. If you're tired of the typical gross-out gags and idiot humor that plague our movie theaters, or of films that call themselves comedies yet can't even induce more than a few chuckles, then pick this movie up and enjoy something with a sense of humor thats a little more sophisticated, and with 100 times more laughs.

Summary: Some of Bob & David's funniest material!
Review: I think this film gets way too much flack, just based on the bad word of mouth from it's creators. Truth is, Bob & David are among the few funny people left on the planet and this movie showcases some of their very best stuff. They may not like it (I personally think they're just jaded from the bad experience of making it), but it really is hysterical. Yea, it might not be 100% what Bob & David wanted...they may have been forced to make compromises and cut some jokes here and there...but they still wound up with one of the funniest films in the last decade! If you're a "Mr Show" fan or you're sick of "Adam Sandler Comedy #73" you'll love this film!
