Great Laughs!
This movie stars Edward Norton, is there anything more that can be said? ;) It's so nice to see such amazing diversity in an actor's characters. (If you want to know what I'm referring to, just go watch American History X and then Death to Smoochy).
"I think you'd have to be wired way too tight not to be able to laugh at this movie. It's able to give you a dark chuckle on an adult level and satirize things in a sophisticated way." -Edward Norton
Sure DTS's humor may be a little juvenile at some times, but it's nevertheless hillarious.
Highly recommended, if nothing else see it for Edward Norton, he gives a great performance (as always) and his character (Sheldon Mopes) is a nice change from the usual.
"I despise you! I LOATHE YOU!!!!" I'm Very Pleased, Indeed
This movie is a prime example of why I never listen to professional critics. Most of the time, they hate movies that I love and love movies that I hate. Of course this movie isn't going to win any Acadamy Awards. Of course it isn't the best film ever. It's not trying to be. I found "Death to Smoochy" to be a dark and entertaining comedy with a really creative story. Robin Williams and Edward Norton star in this off-the-wall freak show directed by Danny DeVito.
Williams used to be "Rainbow Randolph;" a kiddie-show host who children just adored. That is, until he was busted for taking a bribe. Now the not so rainbow man is out of the job and is homeless. Out of an act of desperate measures, the company decides to hire Edward Norton; a dorky self-righteous dweeb without a single skeleton hiding in his closet. A new kiddie-show host is born, and his name is "Smoochy the Rhino." Well, Rainbow Randolph is not pleased at all. In fact, he's willing to take the rhino down for...
"But It's The Rhino Angee.... The Devil Sent Him From Hell To Destroy Me...."
I must have laughed half way through the movie, no kidding, just thinking about it makes me laugh... it was soooo funny!
The cover gives the impression that it is stupid but in reality the movie itself is a work of certifiable genious... I can't describe how good it is.
The fact that the movie itself was good but slightly stupid, and then any scene with Robin Williams in it makes you think that you will die laughing... His irradical hatred for the rhino "Smoochey" is blown ridiculously out of proportion and is just downright hilarious.
There was a scene where Robin Williams, (Raindbow Randolph) is watching TV and is seeing Smoochey on every channel and the dialouge is just hilarious.
"I Despise You..."
"I Loathe You!"
(Picks up a lamp and starts smashing the Tv while yelling:)
"Bastard son of Barnie!"
"Illeginamat Telitubby!"
"Die You Muppet From Hell!"
and then just starts...
