Death to Smoochy

Rat Depot presents Danny DeVito's most underrated work: Death to Smoochy (2002)

A dark comedy that suits DeVito's childlike direction, Death to Smoochy follows Randolph Smiley (Robin Williams), a disgraced and corrupt children's entertainer, who is quickly superseded by Sheldon Mopes (Edward Norton), a squeaky clean act with a heart of gold as Smoochy the Rhino.

Filled with hatred for Smoochy, Randolph Smiley sets out to get the beloved rhino cancelled, by any means necessary.
