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 never watched the show and I am from the south - so yes, I can relate to a lot of the stuff they are making fun of.This is one of my favorite comedy movies ever. From the start to finish everything ties in perfectly together. To me it's more like Airplane in style (a goofy plot with tons of hilarious filler).If you like Indi films, or at least "not so mainstream" films that you have to use your mind a little to catch everything then you will like this film.I only rent films but have ended up renting this one 4 times now to show different friends. Might not be the best sober movie, but a few drinks or so will have you ready for the adventure.

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.

While not the best movie ever(The God of Cookery gets that lofty title), any Mr. Show fan MUST love it. While the humor may not be blatant enough, any true comedy fan knows the funny is in the details. If I had a dime for every idiot who thinks funny equals poo-poo and farts, I could make a crazy dime kingdom. And from this dime kingdom I would declare all those without a well developed sense of humor terrorists, and you know what we think of terrorists. Oh yeah, to everyone who did not like this, you are the reason The Pacifier made so much money. Shame, shame! P.s. Who the fusk lists their I.Q. in a movie review? You pompous bastards. smooches...Watch The God of cookery if you don't love it you have no soul.
