Death to Smoochy
The true ugly under belly of kids TV is exposed in this film. No, it's not a documentary just a fun take on what goes on behind the scenes.
Rainbow Randolph (Robin Williams) is busted by the Feds and loses his show. The TV execs want somebody totally clean so they find Ed Norton's Smoochy. Ed is a total moral pillar: healthy foods, clean messages, nothing dirty, etc. The TV world tries to take advantage of him but he'll have none of it. Now everybody is out to kill him, including Rainbow Randolph for taking his time slot.
The movie is very off the wall and weird but somehow remains funny. I'm not sure Robin Williams is a fit for his character but Norton is good. The other characters that make appearances are entertaining as well. Plus, it has midgets and when can you go wrong with little people? The movie is funny so long as you remember it's a parody of kids TV. At no point should you take it seriously.
3 of 5. It's odd and off the wall and quite possibly worth a rent (especially a free rental).
