What do you get when you combine a hysterically great script about corruption in children's television; the great direction of Danny Devitto, and the comedic talent of Robin Williams, Edward Norton, John Stewart, and many more: one heck of a great... Full review

This is one of those films that is so over the top that it's just plain awful. Robin Williams is once again grating and annoying with his horrible acting and mugging for the cameras, while Edward Norton is lucky to have... Full review
Surprisingly Good, And Nicely-Filmed Black Comedy

I'm almost embarrassed to say it but I really enjoy this film. I say that because of the humor is sick, mainly the tirades spouted by Robin Williams (especially with kids nearby). Otherwise, this black comedy offers a really wonderful... Full review

I remember critics writing about how funny this movie is. Either they have really bad taste, or they were paid to say that, because this flick is punch in the face to anyone who paid to see it.... Full review

You can't help but watch it...again and again. Sick, twisted but kind of fun, Smoochy is worth a look. Don't go out of your way to rent it, but when it pops up in the middle of the night on cable,... Full review

After watching the first 30 minutes of this film, I was wondering why I was watching it. Death to Smoochy then became quite entertaining and a very unique film. The actors all did a fine job of developing characters and a... Full review

The juxtaposition of an evil Robin Williams in a bright kiddies land setting is certainly confronting, but for its target audience, Death to Smoochy is a winner. Death to Smoochy is a splendid parody with a splendid cast that delivers every punch with glee. ... Full Review

The movie is certainly funny enough, particularly when focusing on Edward Norton, who throws everything he's got into the naive, soy-dog-eating Sheldon....Such touches are what make twisted comedies live on in memory --....Where it falls a little short, though, is in making Sheldon/Smoochy too likable --....Death to Smoochy is a more conventional affair, with some refreshing mean moments..... ...

Smoochy isn't as awful as his previous movies....Smoochy's tone is consistently shrill....its first-rate cast....the movie's forced vulgarity....the movie's mean-spirited sense of fun.... ... Full Review

There are some laughs in this movie Director Danny DeVito definitely has a gift for absurd black humor that kicks in here and there, but Adam Resnick's script is slavishly mean-spirited and -- with the era of the TV kiddy-show host now ancient history -- the proceedings never find a clear satiric target. ...
