Editorial Review:
Guaranteed to please anyone who thinks Barney is Satan's spawn, Death to Smoochy mines comedy gold by skewering children's television. Adam Resnick's easy-target satire blossoms under the demented influence of director-costar Danny DeVito, who honors his legacy of venom-laced humor with the raucous rivalry of scandalized former kid-show host Rainbow Randolph (Robin Williams) and his squeaky-clean replacement, Sheldon Mopes, a.k.a. Smoochy the Rhino (Edward Norton). Randolph is insanely obsessed with getting his job back, but Smoochy's a smash, and their war for kid-vid supremacy places a jaded "KidNet" producer (Catherine Keener) in the middle of a Rainbow/Rhino smackdown. A few lulls are easily forgiven since much of Death to Smoochy is laugh-out-loud hilarious, with DeVito, Robert Prosky, Jon Stewart, and Harvey Fierstein in choice supporting roles. It's no wonder DeVito's taboo-busting drew fire from family groups and actual kid-show producers; only the humorless would fail to laugh at Smoochy's uncompromised irreverence. --Jeff Shannon
Randolph Smiley (ROBIN WILLIAMS) has it all - as the costumed star of the highest rated kid's show on TV, "Rainbow Randolph" has a Manhattan penthouse, a Times Square billboard featuring his beloved character, cars , boats, horses and all the indulgence that celebrity brings. Until he get's caught by the Feds in an under the table bribe, busted and instantly reviled, Randolph is a star no more. Enter Sheldon Mopes (EDWARD NORTON) and his alter-ego "Smoochy", a puffy, fuscia rhinoceros. Smoochy is the perfect remedy for what ails the networks...Now it's Smoochy who's got the swanky penthouse, the Times Square billboard and the smooth-talking agent (DANNY DEVITO). Sheldon soon learns that children's television is a dangerous world steeped in corruption, back-stabbing and violence with his biggest problem being Rainbow Randolph. Broke and homeless, Randolph seeks revenge on the Rhino that stole his job and his house; he's convinced the foam rubber carpetbagger is the face of evil sent by the devil to destroy him and he will not sleep until Smoochy takes a permanent dirt nap.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - funny movie
critics might have hated it, but i thought it was hilarious. Edward Norton was believsble and yet adorable at the same time. Robin Williams was over the top at times, but hysterical as the disgruntled former child show host, trying to sabotage "Smoochy the Rhino" show. definately worth checking out if u enjoy dark comedies.
Rating:  - LOVE this movie!
My man LOVES this movie! I just watched it myself and I thought it was both really sweet and funny (in a dark comedy sorta way)! Edward Norton and Robin Williams are fantastic! My boyfriend even has a tatoo of Smoochy on his left forearm!

Psychotic, Crazy, absolutely Hilarious Classic one-liners! ~ Couldn't breathe with over laughter in some parts. A definite must see for any Robin or Edward fan. Only one tinsie winsy negative... about Edward Nortons final stages of this film... but I don't want to ruin it for anyone :-D A lot of ppl avoid watching this film.. believing it is a kids film.. lol.. it isn't.
Rating: - Take a trip outside the Magic Jungle...
I still can't believe that up until last night I had never seen `Death to Smoochy'. It stars one of my all time favorite actors working today (Edward Norton) and yet it slipped right past me for some reason. I remember a few years back I caught part of the movie on HBO and watched for a minute (it was the hilarious cookie scene) but then turned it off since I loathe catching movies in the middle. My wife, knowing that I love everything Norton, called me from our local video store last night and ... Read More
