When I first saw the promos for this film, and that it was Robin Williams in a Danny DeVito film, I knew it had to be pretty good. But it got such bad press that it left the theaters very quickly and I didn't get a chance to.
I just caught it on cable tonight and I laughed uncontrollably at least 10 times. Yes, it is very dark. Yes, it is sometimes disturbing. No, it is not Oscar material. But I found it very enjoyable and am still grinning as I type this. There were a lot of funny moments, but overall Robin Williams' performance was hysterical. There's quite a bit of violence, but you don't see any blood and there's no gore to speak of. Great script. Great acting. Lots of dark fun.
If you like dark comedies like Pulp Fiction, you'll like Death to Smoochy.
