Death to Smoochy (2002)
Heart felt... it touches and makes you laugh
i went to the video shop and choose a film with Edward "Fight Club" Norton in a giant purple rhino costume on the cover. And i must say it was definately a change.
Even if the plot is strange and it's a bit childish in parts it is absoulutely awesome. Norton as always is at his finest. And with Danny DeVito and Robin Williams standing at his side it makes you think. Imagine what Barney does in his spare time!!!!
Norton is a child/junkie entertainer who finally has the luck of the breaking the surface on to children's tv. Unfortunately for him its just because every other performer they know is mental, violent, stoned or in the wrong country! With high hopes and a motto that goes " you cant change the world, but you cant make a dent" Norton gets tossed about by charities, an Irish Mob and his own friends. With a case of mistaken identity somebody's plan is fouled... and all i can say is that the very ending is dissapointing but over all WOOHOO!
A hippy with mood swings, a mental alcoholic and a sleasy business man. Obviously it has some laughs. And even if every other person on this earth hated it, id still love it. This just proves how much talent hippy-physco Edward Norton has. See it and be the judge.
