Wow! Such a good movie.
Excellent but underrated film
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
I'll never forget the day that I walked into a video store and saw this.I didn't even know it existed and soon found myself explaining who Ronnie Dobbs was to someone who just did not care. Ronnie was a character that appeared in 2 sketches on Mr.Show. Mr. What? Exactly. He is a drunk redneck that is always getting arrested. This movie expands on the character and it's truly hilarious.A TV producer gives Ronnie a show and he goes around the country getting arrested everywhere.Ronnie never runs out of funny things to say or do, I feel like I could watch him every day. David Cross,Bob Odenkirk and Nikki Cox have never disappointed me and this movie is no exception. This is a must see.
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.
I only caught a few episodes of Mr. Show, so my comments aren't from a fan. This movie works in a crazy way. Its not a series of sketches but a sustained meditation on fame and southern culture. It's not the greatest film ever made but there are a few things that make it rise above the mediocrity that's out there.I can only imagine what this could've been if the studio hadn't ticked off Cross and Odenkirk. They pushed it straight to DVD. But its still a funny movie.I was enjoying this movie and then I got to the cameo performance by Mandy Patinkin and was agog and just doubled over with laughter. Not only is the conceit funny as hell, its just so perfectly executed. You have to know Mandy Patinkin's work to realize how exceptionally well-crafted that bit is. Its really a stunning piece of comedy. And its not even central to the movie. *THAT'S* the level of comedy we're talking about here.Just hysterical. There are a few other bits to enjoy. A fictional music video is pretty entertaining as is an opening cartoon homage that everyone will recognize.Do yourself a favor and watch this movie.You'll find plenty to enjoy.
This movie is a cult classic, this movie has quickly won its way into all of my friends hearts, when there is nothing to do, watch Ronnie Dobbs. When there is a party and everyone wants to have a good laugh, where do they turn? Run Ronnie Run, I can guarantee you that you will love this movie, there is none better. This movie has tons of support even from other A list Hollywood actors, can you say Cameo, this movie is chock full of them every one plays a very special role in the making of Ronnie Dobbs, the only bad part about this movie is the trailer is terrible, if you see it you won't want to watch the movie but outside of that it is pure gold...... So in conclusion I have decided, I am going to buy myself a Diamond Crystal Speedboat, and paint it gold.....What Kind you Like......You will be quoting this movie till the day you die.....David Cross you are my hero
