Village Voice - J. Hoberman
Death to Smoochy is often very funny, but what's even more remarkable is the integrity of DeVito's misanthropic vision.
67
Austin Chronicle - Marc Savlov
It's good -- no, great -- to see Williams as a mean rat bastard.
63
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
In general, parodies may not rely overmuch on plot, but they need more in this department than Death to Smoochy possesses.
60
New Times (L.A.) - Gregory Weinkauf
Resnick has crafted an ambitious, if extremely uneven, character study.
50
Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas
Starts out as such a deliciously savage satire of TV kiddie shows that it's a shame it swerves out of control and over the top, sliding into tedium before pulling together for a clever, if protracted, finish.
