In this dark comedy, Death to Smoochy follows the downfall of Randolph Smiley, a children's show host fired in humiliation, while his replacement Sheldon Mopes takes the spotlight as the beloved purple rhino, Smoochy. As Sheldon's career skyrockets, he discovers that the people around him, including some hidden figures, are all driven by greed and monetary gain. On the other hand, Randolph spirals into madness, consumed by his obsession to kill Smoochy and regain his lost luxuries.

Directed by Danny DeVito, Death to Smoochy is a twisted and satirical take on the entertainment industry. It delves into the dark underbelly of children's television, exposing the greed and deceit that lurk behind the seemingly innocent facade. As the audience delves into the lives of Randolph and Sheldon, they are taken on a rollercoaster ride of absurd and unpredictable events.

The film highlights the contrast between the genuine, kind-hearted Sheldon and the increasingly unhinged Randolph. Their paths intersect, leading to a climactic confrontation that is both hilarious and disturbing. Death to Smoochy explores themes of corruption, redemption, and the destructive nature of obsession, all while delivering sharp wit and outrageous humor.

With a stellar cast including Robin Williams, Edward Norton, and Catherine Keener, Death to Smoochy offers an unforgettable cinematic experience that will leave audiences laughing and questioning the morality of the entertainment industry.
