Review of Death to Smoochy (2002) by Giovanni M — 15 Feb 2015
Death to Smoochy has a lot of great things about it, but it isn't a great movie. It's a decent enough dark comedy with an excellent cast. Robin Williams is hilarious in his role and Jon Stewart is always a pleasure.
However, the film is never really that funny as it is interesting. There are enough funny parts, but it seems like DeVito got swept up in making such a misanthropic hate-film he forgot that it was supposed to be a comedy first.
The amount of dutch tilts are distracting as well and the Comic Sans MS credits are cringe-worthy. Overall, I liked Death to Smoochy but I wanted to love it. I don't think I'd watch it again but I'm glad I did.
