This is one of the funniest movies out there. It steams from a sketch that Bob and David did on their show Mr. Show with Bob and David. It follows the life of Ronnie Dobbs who becomes famous for getting arrested so many times. It shows us the relationship between Ronnie and Terry. Its not exactly like the sketch cause in the sketch Ronnie was a woman beater but in the movie he isn't. He actually loves Tammy. So some changes were made. Nonetheless, this movie is both funny and touching at times particularly on parts that Ronnie is sad about losing Tammy. It was incredibly hilarious when the fat kid kicked everybody's ass in order to save himself and when he had full control over his a hole father. Its so funny it'll have you crying with laughter. Pure genius! I can't say it enough....... ........ ..................... ............ .................. .................. .......... .........

Almost four years after HBO unceremoniously stopped running "Mr.Show with Bob and David",many of the producers,cast and crew of the show came together to make a feature-length movie about arguably one of the more memorable characters created on it:Indominable shirt-less redneck ne'er-do-well Ronnie Dobbs(David Cross,in one of the best showcases of his talent). This effort is a treat to those who enjoyed the show and/or the character,but I imagine the appeal is fairly limited.This film is sort of a Rags-to-riches story,telling of just how Ronwell Dobbs went from ordinary,below-average intelligence hoodlum from rural Georgia who has a penchant for getting in trouble with the law,to a national and international celebrity and anti-hero,due much in part of the grooming of prissy,disgraced English film producer and failed inventor Terry Twillstein(Bob Odenkirk,who doesn't seem to get employed enough for my money). Terry gets his chance to groom Ronnie when the local sheriff in Ronnie's home-state(M.C.Gainey)makes a deal with Terry to take Ronnie off his hands. From there,Ronnie goes about finding creative new(and old)ways to get arrested in every state in the nation and many cities of many countries around the world. He,naturally becomes hugely rich and,as wealth is often to do to people,makes Ronnie an even bigger irresponsible ass than before.Chock-full of cameos,ranging from former "Mr.Show" cast members such as Mary Lynn Rajskub(as herself),Sarah Silverman and Brian Posehn to non-show affiliates such as Jeff Goldblum,Matt Stone,Trey Parker,Scott Thompson,Mandy Patinkin,Jeff Garlin,Dave Foley,Andy Richter and Garry Shandling,this film is funny and loose,but it seems to be sort of an odd fit for the material it's presenting. Anyone familiar with "Mr.Show"knows that the sketches and characters had no end and merely blended into the next segment,simply to wrap around and come back to the host segment,whereas this movie has to flesh out a story that initially had one,maybe two segments of about seven minutes in length and make it into a full 90 min. film. It works just well enough as is,but it does kinda feel like writers Odenkirk and Cross and director Troy Miller were getting bored with the story and wanted to create a quick resolution to it. Granted,this show works no worse than just about any SNL sketch that got green-lighted in the past(Night at the Roxbury,anyone?),but having been a fan of the original show,I suppose I expected more.As it is,it's a great showcase(as said earlier)for Cross and a tantalizingly sharp skewering of current television standards and what makes a celebrity in this culture.

I watched this movie with a friend who described it as the funniest thing she'd ever seen. Naturally I approached it with some scepticism and was fairly underwhelmed considering her huge endorsement of it. That's not to say that Run Ronnie Run isn't funny. Like many low budget films of its sort it has some utterly hysterical moments: the malfunctioning blender for one, or Ronnie endeavouring to make his girlfriend Tammy jealous being another.However, some of the jokes are overworked and some of the characters are more annoying than funny. For example: David Koechner (who you may recognise as Champ from Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy) as Clay manages to be both overworked and less than amusing as the narrator, his voice slow and dreary rather than comedic, and as the victim of Ronnie's more outlandish stunts. His 'It's not your fault...' line really isn't that funny the first time, let alone the third.So this is a film that's worth seeing once or twice but probably wasn't worth a cinematic release. Certainly it's not something I'll be rushing out to buy any time soon, though after a few pints it's exactly the sort of movie to make you think 'Why not?'

This movie was perfect. I saw it like 10 million times in one day. And then i saw it again, like 100 million times, within the next week. It's so funny that my acid reflux acted up from all my laughing. My insides were burning like dry tinder on a fire started from dryer tinder. David Cross makes me laugh. And when i laugh i get acid reflux. Bob Odenkirk is like the straight guy of the duo. Straight? I don't know about that - hahahahaha. is he married? But i've been watching Mr. Show forever and was waiting for this movie to come out for a long time. When it did i squirted all over the place, cleaned myself up, and watched it 10 million times in one day. If you do watch this movie, make sure you have plenty of corn chips, trust me, you're going to need them. Trust me.
