Run Ronnie Run! description Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, creators and stars of the HBO comedy sketch series Mr. Show, bravely stretch one of that program's premises and characters into a generally successful, feature-length film in Run Ronnie Run! Cross plays Ronnie Dobbs, a trailer-park nitwit whose pranks find him routinely chased by small-town police. When an L.A. television producer (Odenkirk) discovers Ronnie is a favorite and frequent felon on a reality TV show, he signs Dobbs to his own series (Ronnie Dobbs Gets Arrested!) and re-settles him in Beverly Hills. Unprepared for fame, money, and power, Ronnie tries reinventing his life with mixed results. Much of Run Ronnie Run! is funny, though Cross--always a strong performer--is typically better than the material. The film works best as a showcase for sight gags and one-note sketches; among the latter is a great piece involving a self-help guru and a cameo by Jeff Goldblum. --Tom Keogh |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | RONNIE RUNS WITH LAUGHTER |
| Fans of MR SHOW are well familiar with actors/writers David Cross and Bob Odenkirk. But for those of us who have never had the chance to see the show, we might have no idea what to expect from this film. Here's the scoop on it: it's funny. Laugh out loud funny.
The story revolves around Ronnie Dobbs (Cross), a mullet headed trouble maker whose major successes in life are getting arrested. Always on the lookout for trouble, Ronnie gets picked up at the drop of a hat. One of his arrests is viewed on a C.O.P.S. like show and he develops fans from this appearance. British inventor and infomercial host Terry Twillstein (Odenkirk) see the effects watching Ronnie has on his staff. He immediately tracks Dobbs down and posts his bail with the promise to remove him from the county. Taking Dobbs to Hollywood, Twillstein gets a weekly series featuring Ronnie being arrested in cities all across America. This redneck, backwoods character strikes a chord with viewers that catapults him to the number one show on TV, knocking out a show that's a dig on the reality series SURVIVOR (a clip of which is hilarious). With all of the money he ever needed, with his friends living with him, with a chance to even meet the woman of his dreams, the beer poster lady (Nikki Cox), Ronnie still finds himself unhappy. All he wants is his wife of three times Tammy (Jill Talley) to be with him. But he even messes that up. When Ronnie makes a return visit home for a parade, the ex-sheriff (now governor) keeps his word, arresting Ronnie and tossing him in jail (on death row even!). But terrorists kidnap the Governor's son and hold him hostage, demanding that Ronnie be released into their hands. If you want to find out what happens, then go rent this one. It's filled with so many jokes and laughs that there is no way to list them all (nor would I want to) here and now. Take offs on television shows (the infomercial one had me laughing so hard I had to pause the disc), censored portions of films (with one of the crudest songs I've ever heard) and even pre-film cartoons supporting the concession stand (right at the beginning so you know what to expect the rest of the way) are all done so well that you can't help but smile after watching. Cross has always done a great job in the things I've seen him in. One of those familiar yet not recognized faces that you need to know, he makes Ronnie Dobbs come to life. The film is also filled with cameos galore, featuring stars like Garry Shandling, John and Rebecca Romijn Stamos, Jeff Goldblum, Jack Black, Dave Foley, Andy Richter, Kent McCord, Mandy Patinkin, Ben Stiller, Patrick Wharburton and more. A word to the wise: this movie is not meant for children. A few off color words and a lot of dark humor pervade that adults will understand and laugh at all the more, while children have no business learning. So don't use this one as a plug in baby sitter. Send the kids to bed and try not to laugh too loud and wake them. It's one of those movies you don't know what to expect and find hilarious. By the way...I knew Ronnie's growing up. And that makes the movie all the more funny. I think we all did at one time or another. Let's just hope they're not all as successful as this one. |
