Amazon.com: 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
A True Classic Whether you are a fan of Mr. Show or just like silly movies with a lot of cameos this is a must see.
A fun Romp with Ronnie In a day when it's hard to find a comedy that you can actually laugh aloud, Run Ronnie Run is just that. The characters are off-beat, and David Cross is at his funniest in this silly comedy. I highly recommend this movie to anyone that wants or needs a good laugh.
Watch this movie, Watch! If you like David Cross, or if you like trailer trash as a source of laughs, then this movie is for you. A lot of the jokes parallel Cross' current standup and previous work on Mr. Show. The parody on life in the trailer community and also on the English infomercial types, is hilarious. Enjoy, and don't take life so seriously.
Great movie, great delivery. Funniest damn movie I have ever seen. Delivered on time.
Underrated! I hate to compare this to Joe Dirt, but everyone else does. And while the overall story is not as good (not that it's bad), scene for scene it is much funnier.
