Anybody Else Heard of Death to Smoochy (2002)? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Just Finished Watching Death to Smoochy (2002)

I didn't know what to expect coming in to this film. All I knew that it had Robin Williams, and I found the film from a clip of him dancing through the streets and faceplanting to the wall (btw just watch the whole thing, it's a great love letter to the late Robin Williams).

I was disappointed that the MC wasn't Robin but was Ed Norton who plays Smoochy. Only for a bit though because Ed killed it and greatly portrayed this bundle of ethics character that had an anger management problem deep deep deep down.

The plot was wack but the characters and their interactions with one another were the highlight of the film.

Robin Williams still played a significant part in the movie, but I wished he was used better. He was eclectic as Rainbow Randolph, never really felt scary as a villain but maybe that was the point.

Anyways it was an enjoyable experience, 7/10.

Same reason while I don't like Will Ferrell. They're stereotypically cast in roles that allows them to act like manchildren. There's always your exceptions like Bicentennial Man and Stranger Than Fiction, but overall they tend to play the same kind of character and I'm just not into it.
