Critic Reviews

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

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

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

Rene Rodriguez

Death to Smoochy? Yes, please. Read full review

Michael O'Sullivan

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

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.

This movie delivers what it promises, a zaney dark comedy about all these Barney like shows. It is silly but clever, it has good points it has bad points. You just need to sit back, not take it so seriously and run with the premise. If you do that this movie is a good time.

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.
