Critic Reviews

Christian Science Monitor - David Sterritt

If you're in the mood for razor-sharp satire, this is the most refreshingly outrageous movie of the season. Read full review

Austin Chronicle - Marc Savlov

It's good -- no, great -- to see Williams as a mean rat bastard. Read full review

New Times (L.A.) - Gregory Weinkauf

Resnick has crafted an ambitious, if extremely uneven, character study. Read full review

Rolling Stone - Peter Travers

This black-comic assault on family entertainment is going to set a lot of teeth on edge -- If only his (De Vito's) material were better this time. Read full review

Miami Herald - Rene Rodriguez

Death to Smoochy? Yes, please. Read full review

Washington Post - Michael O'Sullivan

It's so over the top, the top isn't even visible in the rear-view mirror. Read full review

Chicago Reader - Hank Sartin

It's hard to pinpoint where things go wrong. Read full review

Death to Smoochy is easily one of my favorite movies of all time. Hilarious from start to finish and one heck of a good black comedy. I would highly recommend it.

If anything was good about this movie, it was the drunken boxer, and the sex scene that we don't see right before the boxer dies.
