Death to Smoochy (DVD, 2002, Full Screen Edition)

Danny DeVito, Robin Williams, Edward Norton|Theatrical release: 2002 | Rating: R (MPAA)

Movie synopsis

Robin Williams goes berserk as Rainbow Randolph, the disgraced host of a children's television show, in director Danny DeVito's fast-paced satire, DEATH TO SMOOCHY. Busted by the Feds for accepting a bribe to get a child on his show, Randolph gets booted from his network, Kidnet, and is replaced by the earnest do-gooder Sheldon Mopes (Edward Norton), who plays Smoochy, a loveable pink rhino with a strong resemblance to Barney. Sheldon sums up his own personality with a classic line, "When my brothers and I played cowboys and Indians, I was always the Chinese railroad worker." As Sheldon becomes a superstar, Randolph plots his revenge. Sheldon's refusal to push cheap toys and sugary drinks angers the Kidnet execs, especially tough-as-nails Nora (Catherine Keener). Sheldon also runs up against the Irish mob and his agent (DeVito) gets him into trouble with a corrupt charity. Meanwhile, Nora finds herself falling for the principled performer.Robin Williams is amazing, completely shedding his "nice guy" persona and making the shockingly foulmouthed kiddie show host simultaneously hilarious and frightening. Norton does a great job of winning the audience over to his buffoonish but truly good hearted character. He and Keener lend heart to the scathingly funny script by Adam Resnick.

Death To Smoochy

Created: 01/01/07
I absolutely loved this movie. This is one of Robin Williams' best performances yet.

The movie starts with Rainbow Randolph (Williams), who is the host of a children's television show, getting busted by the Feds for accepting a bribe to get a child onto his show. He gets fired from the network and is replaced with Sheldon Mopes, who plays Smoochy, a pink loveable rhino. When Sheldon becomes a hit, Rainbow is plotting revenge against him for taking his place. And the plot goes from there.

The cast is great, it includes: Robin Williams, Edward Norton, Danny DeVito, and Jon Stewart.

A must have for any Robin Williams fan!

Death to Smoochy :)

We like Ed Norton and Robin Williams. After seeing Ed Norton in Hannibal, it is funny to watch him in a movie where he is dressed up like a rhino. The movie is great to watch over and over.
