- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It's good -- no, great -- to see Williams as a mean rat bastard"
-
"Plays like a long TV sketch, but with an array of characters, themes, subplots and situations just clever enough to keep it moving, and to give cover to its underlying cynicism."
-
"There are a few laughs, but I'm not sure that a comedy is supposed to make you recoil, which is what 'Smoochy' does"
-
"A dark comedy that blows up like an exploding cigar, leaving nothing much behind but smoke, noise and a bad taste."
-
"To make a film this awful, you have to have enormous ambition and confidence, and dream big dreams"
-
"Sporadically funny, twisted for sure, it risks becoming as repetitive and shrill as the kinds of programs it satirizes"
