My dislike of Robin Williams stemmed from my mother’s fondness for him, despite how much time I spent watching *Hook*. It seems silly to have a reason to not like someone based on that. However, when Robin Williams portrays a character affected by what's referred to as "Doubtfire disease," he becomes considerably easier to dislike. He delivers some genuinely funny lines and his physical performance is remarkable. The more conventional his hairstyle appears, the more I find myself appreciating him. His character’s journey is quite moving—a combination of trauma and eventual redemption. Similarly, I had a problem with Ed Norton because he's an attractive Hollywood actor, and I wasn’t… despite my extensive viewing of *Fight Club*. That feels like a legitimate reason to dislike someone, so I don’t care for him. I hadn't seen *Death to Smoochy* until recently. Danny DeVito is excellent; the portrayal of the Italian mob is fantastic. The scene where they explain to Ed how things were handled deserves recognition. Everyone involved seems committed to a certain moral standard. There's some genuinely worthwhile guidance for kids throughout the film, and Smoochy could be a beneficial role model. I appreciate that he addresses difficult truths with the children without softening them. Buggy Ding Dong!!! I laughed quite a bit; there are many strong elements here. The way the actors’ personal experiences are woven into their performances is… really well done. This movie is genuinely good, although it feels slow for the initial half hour before it truly finds its footing.
