An awful embarrassing movie...April 02, 2002
Death to Smoochy is often very funny, but what's even more remarkable is the integrity of DeVito's misanthropic vision.April 01, 2002
I'm sure that some country, maybe France or something, will hail this as a work of genius, because it is so incredibly awful.September 16, 2002
A broad, braying yuk fest that revels in coarse jokes ... lacks the courage of its own cynicism ... and refuses to develop its own premise.March 29, 2002
A blacker than black comedy.January 04, 2004
[T]his is a movie that ought to have been a lot funnier... Death to Smoochy is a cry likely to be heard by ticketbuyers as well.September 09, 2003
Robin Williams' manic energy is put to perfect use in this amusing and twisted comedy.June 12, 2006
Considering that it's meant to be a comedy about a TV children's show, DeVitto's picture is particularly irritating, nasty, and mean-spirited.July 29, 2007
I was happy enough with it through most of it, but are we living in such insecure times that even dark, violent comedies now have to end on an up note?August 28, 2003
I giggled all the way through "Death to Smoochy." It wasn't that ha-ha giggle, it was that evil, kind of maniacal giggle.July 20, 2002
A dark comedy that blows up like an exploding cigar, leaving nothing much behind but smoke, noise and a bad taste.March 29, 2002
This is a particularly toxic little bonbon, palatable to only a chosen and very jaundiced few.
