I was very surprised to see on opening weekend, that the movie theater only had about 20 people in it! This did not sit well for me - because I was insistant that we go to see this movie, despite the bad reviews. Boy! I'm very glad that I didn't listen to those critics or be bothered by the lack of patrons at the theater. This movie had me laughing hysterically! Robin Williams was superb as the deranged Rainbow Randolph who seeks revenge on the ever-so-politically correct Smoochy the Rhino (portrayed by Edward Norton - another favorite of mine!) Both actors played off each other wonderfully!
Of course, going into this film, I knew that it was a dark comedy from the twisted mind of Danny DeVito. (who also has a part in the film). Kudos to Danny - for not compromising his ideas! This was truly an original movie!
I must warn you - this is a film you will either love or hate - I don't think there could be an in-between! But take my word for it - invest the time and the cash to see this on the big screen! |
