Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

grantss David Cross and Bob Odenkirk can do better. As actors, Cross and Odenkirk can easily do better than this movie. However, they also wrote the script for this, so are almost entirely to blame for its lameness. Very silly movie. For whatever reason, aims to glorify stupid redneck antics. Maybe rednecks were the target audience...Not all bad. There are some genuine laugh-out-loud moments. Anything that spoofed Hollywood and celebrity, their superficiality and vacuousness, was reasonably well done.In keeping with this, Bob Odenkirk is the one to watch. David Cross' character is just plain irritating.

rzajac I loved Mr. Show. This flick basically takes the Ronnie Dobbs character and gives it the treatment it deserves.I read the "Trivia" section and was interested to discover what a touch-and-go the whole project was. I think it's something of tribute that, in spite of having strayed from Bob/David's original conception, it's still a wonderful movie. Others have commented on the content, which is pretty much summed up as a take-down of rednecks and Hollywood.So let's just call this what it is: Giving due production diligence to the whole Ronnie Dobbs mythos as Mr. Show was getting mothballed.From time to time a production blows apart one of my "rules of thumb". The rule of thumb exploded by "Run Ronnie Run" is that some media efforts are essentially work programs for talented actors and actresses, and that these kinds of "make-work" programs suck. "Run Ronnie Run" is, in part, a make-work program, but it still feels oh-so right. What's the difference? The difference is in a production like this having an inspired myth; and Ronnie Dobbs *is* one for the ages. When you're watching it, metabolize it as David Cross channeling the spirit of a *god*, and it'll all make sense to you.

Chrysanthepop I'm not familiar with the Ronnie Dobbs skits on 'Mr. Show' but I really enjoyed 'Run Ronnie Run'. It's funny from start to end. In the beginning there's a cartoon which mocks the cine-goers and the movie itself is a spoof of the 'trailor trash culture', reality shows, censorship and stardom in Hollywood. The film is full of cameos and all the actors show excellent comic timing. Dot Lancaster's opening sequence and his reappearance are hilarious. But, the stars of 'Run Ronnie Run' are Bob Odenkirk and David Cross who also co-wrote the screenplay. It is their tremendous comic abilities that make this one a joy to watch. Even though both Ronnie and arguably Terry are dumb, the viewer roots for them no matter what. The offbeat and adult humour might not be considered as everyone's cup of tea but I believe that it's an underrated film. The humour works on multiple levels as satire, slapstick, dark humour and yes, there's something poetic about it too. Go and watch 'Run Ronnie Run'but remember that it isn't real, it's a movie.

pentagore I originally saw the uncut version through a bootleg some months before this was released. Having been a longtime Mr. Show fan, I was ultimately pleased to see they had done something with the character of Ronnie Dobbs. So many white trash characters have been portrayed on film and TV, but none of them have really hit true to home than Ronnie Dobbs. I have known MANY Ronnie Dobbs in my lifetime, having spent many years in Texas and Oklahoma. It was almost like watching a documentary.'Run, Ronnie, Run' is tremendously under-rated, and I suggest to all you comedy buffs to view this film. Those with an understanding of this kind of comedy will appreciate it even more.
