Haven't seen it in a while, but I love it.
Oh, but if you wanna see Robin as a truly scary villain there are actually two pretty good flicks: Insomnia and One Hour Photo.

Yeah he was definitely a good "villain" in One Hour Photo, he was eery to say the least.
I've watched most of Robin Williams' films and I've thoroughly enjoyed all of it.
My favourite, by far, is still Dead Poets Society.
Oh I totally forgot about insomnia. Thanks for reminding me! Good flick.
He was also very good in a tiny role in the Kenneth Branagh thriller "Dead Again".
Haven’t watched it in years, but it’s one of my favorite dark comedies. Edward Norton, Robin Williams, Danny DeVito, and John Stewart, what’s not to love?
It’s a rocket ship!
What are you, blind?! It's a cock!
You know what you can do with your hand cream, jerk-off!
This movie is funny AF.
I'm going on safari motherfucker! SAFARI!
Randomly thought about this movie last night and started humming "friends come in all sizes". It's a classic in my opinion.
Of course I remember it. They wouldn't stop showing trailers on TV!
Never seen it, though. I'm not a fan of Robin Williams.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?! Isn't that illegal?
How though? His range is huge!
Same reason while I don't like Will Ferrell. They're stereotypically cast in roles that allows them to act like manchildren. There's always your exceptions like Bicentennial Man and Stranger Than Fiction, but overall they tend to play the same kind of character and I'm just not into it.
Give this movie a shot. Is not your typical Robin Williams.
Good to know, thanks. I liked his performance in Bicentennial Man, so if his performance is anything like that then maybe I should give Smoochy a chance.
Thanks again for the recommendation.
But he's in it
It's true. At least he's not in all of it?
The movie is so good.
I have a family member who did security on that film. He met Robin, and developed a very short friendship with him. (apparently they had coffee together on set a few times, which means that Robin would have had to go out of his way, as either he went on break with security or hung out while family was on duty)
LOVE the movie! The website for the movie was ridiculous back in the day
One of my favs!
My stepfather, who I adored, was an instant huge fan of Death to Smoochy after it came out on home video and would often sing the line "Stepdad's Not Mean He's Just Adjusting"
Dating myself here, but saw this in theaters when it released. Brilliant. One of Robin Williams' best performances imho.
Criminally underrated! Like my favorite comedy! I quote it everytime someone asks me if I'm okay.
"I'm kind of fucked up in general so it's hard to tell."
😂 😂 😂

Great movie!
Crazy timining, I just watched this last night. Directed by Danny Devito, it's a fun movie and Robin Williams destroys as always.
