Death To Smoochy

[Chef]

Show was on Starz the other night.......son of a *****, after not seeing that movie for a bit, forgot how uproariously funny it is.

I'll never look at a batch of freshly baked cookies the same way again.

Ridiculously underrated and underappreciated movie...

This movie was a colossal bomb. I don't think it even cracked the top 10 the week it came out...

How a movie with Robin Williams, Edward Norton, Jon Stewart and Catherine Keener ever was so under the radar, I'll never know... I think I saw this multiple times in the theater and I usually only do that once or twice a year...

 

[Boognish]

Don't forget Danny DeVito and Danny Woodburn - Kramer's 'little' sidekick for several episodes of Seinfeld.

Agreed, very underrated film. Big ups to Moochy

I never saw it.
I rented it one night for my mom and wife to watch. I had a ball game to cover.
To this day, they both continue to rag me for renting that movie. They HATED it.

It's the only Edward Norton movie I have seen that I haven't loved.
It's decent, but he is usually in absolute classics. To me, this isn't one.

Oh, man, I couldn't disagree more.

One of the most underrated movies EVER. :)

Funny movie.

You know who's overrated? Ed Norton.

Absolute blasphemy... One of the best actors working...

Just messin.

He's amazing. Can seem like a schlub in one movie and a crazy eyed killer in another.

I would have said the same thing but then I saw "Down in the Valley." Another awful movie.

Didn't it get awful reviews? I think I remember hearing it mentioned in the same breath as Gigli and Ishtar. Could explain why it bombed.

In American History X, Norton retired the trophy in the category of Greatest Performance By An Actor That Had No Freaking Chance Of Winning An Oscar.

Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross should be there as well... At least Norton was nominated...

Baldwin should have been nominated for his role in The Departed, too.

Another Norton flick where he was great, but you just hoped like hell he would get shot/get the **** beat out of was "Rounders".

I didn't think Ishtar was all that bad. I might be the only one, though.
