Summary: A weird trip, no doubt about that...
Review: This movie has a frenzied rhythm, an astonishing number of sequences, and a high number of characters. Norton and Williams could give wings to their imaginations to interpret the characters.I did not like the movie totally, but I gave it a fair chance, and it proved to be a good movie, with a bold ambition, but with the exceution a little bit floppy.

Summary: It's hard to believe this looked good on paper
Review: Katherine Keener was pretty hot in Being John Malcovich. She doesn't look so good in this movie. That's about the only comment I can make about this used condom of a movie.

Summary: A flawed but still hilarious black comedy
Review: When sleazy scumbag kids show host Rainbow Ruldolph (Robin Williams) loses his show (and everything else), he is replaced by the ultra squeaky clean Smoochy the Rhino (Ed Norton) in this dark (but not too dark) comedy which features Danny DeVito at the directing helm. Soon Rudolph begins to hatch a plan to get Smoochy off the air by disgracing and killing him and get everything he lost back, and it results in some disturbingly hilarious results; while Smoochy juggles the mob, overbearing tv execs (are there any other?), and a mentally slow fan who used to be a boxer (a role that Henry Rollins was passed over for). While there are moments of flawed storytelling, Death to Smoochy is laugh out loud hilarious with a twisted performance from Williams, and a fantastic performance (as usual) from Norton. Catherine Keener also stars as a jaded producer of these kids' shows and is a riot as well, while Jon Stewart and Harvey Fierstein add to the comedic mix. All in all, Death to Smoochy isn't the best comedy you'll ever see, but it is definitely worth a look.

Summary: A Breath of Fresh Air
Review: This film is highly original, hilarious, and even meaningful. There's plenty to enjoy...dancing, singing, ridiculous songs...you name it. All of the performances are top quality, as is the direction and sound. Don't listen to these idiots who put this film down, they're probably just not used to a movie that has something original and off-the-wall to bring to the table.

Summary: Remeber parents this movie is rated R
Review: Parents just because this movie is about rival kid's show hosts, doesn't mean it is going a kid's movie. But who would have ever thought Robin Williams was going to star in a movie directed by Danny DeVito? And this movie was directed by Danny DeVito. And he aslo has a part as a manger who likes to make deals behind people's back, even the person he manges. As the movie opens, "Rainbow" Randolph Smiley (Robin Williams) is caught taking bribes fom parents to get thier kids on his show by two cops dressed up as parents wanting Smiley to put thier kids on his show. So he is arrested and somehow fired from National Kidnet. And the network decides to replace Smiley's show with a clean show. And the person who winds up with the job is Sheldon Mopes (Eward Morton). And the show is titled Smoochy's Magical Islannd in which he sings songs to children. Sheldon meets Burke (Danny DeVito) and hires him as his agent. But poor Sheldon doesn't know that right behind his back Burke is making deals, including him getting Smoochy is own ice show. Harvey Fierstein who also did Mrs. Doubtfire with Robin Williams is in here as a mobster named Merv Green. And Pam Ferris who did Matitla with Danny DeVito also in here playing Tommy Kotter. But please remember parents that this movie is rated R.

Summary: Loved It
Review: I saw this in the theater the day that it came out. My roommate and I laughed our asses off, while most of the rest of the theater (which was mostly comprised of retirees - we live in Sarasota, Florida) sat confussed. They didn't get it. And it seems that most of the reviewers didn't get it either. I loved it so much that I bought it the day that it came out on DVD, I then invited everyone that I knew to come over to watch it. They all loved it to - many of them went out and bought it for themselves.

Summary: Oh, I got it. It just wasn't funny.
Review: This movie is like having a really intense dream about a leprechaun revealing the location of his secret pot of gold only to wake up to discover that you have just been bitten about the genitals by a big, furry spider that leaves scads of green goo in its tenebrous wake.

Summary: One of my favorite movies of last year.
Review: Every single person I know loved this movie. From the songs (I will find the soundtrack some day) to the great character acting, this movie is one of the best I saw all last year. No it's not a movie for kids, I but I firmly believe that if something is rated R kids shouldn't see it anyway. But to all the adults out there...this movie is wonderful.

Summary: Might have been fun
Review: Robin Williams is a comic genius, and the scenes with him on screen are worth watching (too bad he doesn't have more screen time). And Harvey Fierstein is always entertaining. Danny Woodburn does a great job as the chief "little person" on the Smoochy show. The comic premise of the movie sounded promising, but it's weighed down by a leaden script, with a silly and unfunny gangster subplot and an utterly unbelievable romantic plot thrown in. The film generates maybe half a dozen chuckles in all. The DVD includes a commentary by director Danny deVito which is largely devoted to telling how much fun the movie was to make. Too bad it's not much fun to watch.
