I recognize that its a bit of a mess and it has too many subplots however I appreciate the ambition and there are some perfectly executed dark gags in this.

A dark satire from director Danny DeVito, Death to Smoochy delivers some wicked laughs but it's also kind of a mess. After children's TV show star Rainbow Randolph is arrested for accepting bribes the network cancels his show and replaces it with newcomer Sheldon Mopes' Smoochy the Rhino, but Mopes soon finds his new show being sabotaged by Randolph who's determined to get his old show back. Starring Robin Williams, Edward Norton, Catherine Keener, and Danny DeVito, the film features an impressive cast; though their performances are rather weak. And the comedy is all over the place, ranging from clever satire to slapstick; there no consistent tone. Also, the plot is pretty convoluted, with extraneous characters and subplots that don't really go anywhere. Yet even with all ts problems, Death to Smoochy is an entertaining bit of wacky fun that has its moments.

good cast, Norton as normal the most outstanding. good script perfect for de vitos style which makes sense as it was primarily his baby. however the subject matter is uninteresting to me

I loved the black comedy and how so many awful things happen with the involve of a children TV show. But Death to Smoochy have a bad script, what don't hel´p the movie. Rotten.
