Movie Reviews of Run Ronnie Run!

Movie Review: Ya'll Are Brutalizin' This Film!
Summary: 5 Stars

This movie is still flat-out terrific, even if Bob and David don't endorse it themselves ... it seems like their dislike of the film might be more to do with disillusionment over the final product and less regarding actual disparagement of what was made. Personally - and I'm not the only "person" holding this view - I thought that this film captured (no pun intended) Ronnie Dobbs in a manner that Mr. Show never could have, and made him human - whereas before he was simply a hilarious charicature.

It seems to me that there was NO WAY to stretch "FUZZ: the musical" into a full length film unless there were significant changes made to the Ronnie and Terry characters. No one does latent homosexuality better than Bob and David, and curse me for saying so, but that little bit of homo-happiness came across as damn sweet in this movie. Ronnie's love for Tammy was also a fabulous motivating force, and really improved upon the "wife-beatin'-911-it's-me-again" Ronnie (simply because what's funny in a sketch show must be altered to incorporate an overaraching storyline). I truly liked the "new" Terry, who actually cared for Ronnie rather than wanting to exploit him - as in the first ep, first season of Mr. Show.

If a wonderfully written, well-sung and acted brilliant film isn't enough for you, the appearances by Trey and Matt, Jack Black, Scott Thompson, John and Rebecca, Jeff Goldblum et al. should make the film more than worth watching.

Can a man not make a film in silence - that is, from fans who turn rabid at the slightest change in content and style?
