Review

Our sentiments exactly. Williams desperately tries to wriggle his way out of the pigeonhole of having portrayed a string of syrupy saps in smug, feel-good dramas. Here, he does an about face as Rainbow Randolph, the much-adored host of a popular kids variety show who’s disgraced after the FBI busts him during a payola sting. Rainbow’s embarrassed network seeks out a new, morally upright host for their show. Enter Norton as the titular Smoochy, a fuchsia rhino so squeaky-clean and boring even Barney the Dinosaur would consider him a wuss. As Smoochy helps the network rebound, dejected Rainbow becomes a vicious stalker, scheming to rid the world of this one-horned menace. It’s indeed a nice change of pace to see Williams gnash his teeth, foam at the mouth and hurl colorful vulgarities as fluently as a salty sailor, but his venomous, one-note schtick quickly gets tedious. Worse, the movie thinks it’s skewering the mass marketing mentality of puritanical children’s icons, but instead of poking Barney a new orifice, the film stabs itself squarely in the foot. A chaotic, insufferably unfunny mess.
