Review of Run Ronnie Run (2002) by Amber P — 12 Oct 2007

First off: My Husband would like to let everyone know that if you like Mr. Show, you'll love this movie.

----------------------------.

This is the story of a beer-drinking trailer park redneck's climb to fame and fortune by being taken under the wing of hollywood.

Insert: REALITY TV!

Imagine if you will a small southern town plagued by one sole trouble maker everyone knows by name. Ronnie Dobbs. When he's not peeing in the water resevoir he's stealing school busses and crashing them in football fields, drunk as a skunk and always denying he even did anything wrong. Most times running. Always coming up with backwards excuses that don't even make sense.

I originally rented this movie because of the cameo appearance made by Matt Stone and Trey Parker (and I want their nuts) but I fastly fell in love with the movie in the first 5 minutes and wish more people knew about it's most awesome hilarity.

Come ride with me on my reviewalicious party wagon.

((pan back to small southern town)).

Ronnie Dobbs is doing what he does naturally (getting drunk and arrested by the cops) and gets caught and aired multiple times on the show COPS. In a way he becomes a regular of sorts and people enjoy watching his schenanigans and his uber stupidity. A failed infomercial man is in a crowd watching the show and overhears someone comment on how they'd watch Ronnie Dobbs get arrested by the cops everyday. He should have his own show!

Instant money. cha ching!

Infomercial man manages to get a slot on television, and secures Ronnie's place in stardom by striking a deal with the police chief of Ronnie's town. Ronnie Dobbs is not allowed anywhere in the state or he'll be permanently arrested.

Now, what's a movie without the love interest? We're all suckers for that kinda junk so lemme slap it to you.

Ronnie's soul mate and love of his life Tammy has refused his 4th marriage proposal. (they've been married and divorced 3 other times) . She says he aint gonna get anywhere in his life and aint ever going to make something of himself. Ronnie going to Hollywood secures himself money, a house, and luxury. Insert the beer poster gal and you gots yourself a regular ole love triangle.

How can Ronnie prove to Tammy he loves her and can provide for her and the little ronnies while he's banned from his homestate and currently dating the beer poster girl?

Guess you'll have to find out.

Oh yeah. And I loooove Ronnie's love song boyband pop music video.
