Death to Smoochy

USA 2002, 105 minutes
Dir. Danny DeVito
Rating: [M]
Genres: Comedy / Black Comedy

Feat. Robin Williams, Edward Norton, Catherine Keener, Danny De Vito, Harvey Fierstein

Aroview: An exuberantly mean-spirited send-up of kids’ television, where lewd, foulmouthed clown Robin Williams declares "death to Smoochy", a purple dinosaur (Edward Norton), who has replaced him in his television slot.

Media cynics with relish its un-cuddly showbiz satire, though some of the great ideas in the script get swamped under De Vito's heavy hand.

4 stars (Very Good) Sorry, Aroview: the movie clearly states Smoochy's fuchsia. Everybody was obviously having a blast making this delightful black comedy, which goes in every direction except the ones I expected. Also, a good highlight of how shot Jon Stewart is. ~Pop&Coffee
