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.

A dark comedy that blows up like an exploding cigar, leaving nothing much behind but smoke, noise and a bad taste.

This is a particularly toxic little bonbon, palatable to only a chosen and very jaundiced few.

[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.

An awful embarrassing movie...
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.

Death to Smoochy is often very funny, but what's even more remarkable is the integrity of DeVito's misanthropic vision.

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?

I giggled all the way through "Death to Smoochy." It wasn't that ha-ha giggle, it was that evil, kind of maniacal giggle.

A blacker than black comedy.

Robin Williams' manic energy is put to perfect use in this amusing and twisted comedy.

I'm sure that some country, maybe France or something, will hail this as a work of genius, because it is so incredibly awful.
