I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This is definitely a funny movie to see if you are from the south.Most people who don't like this movie probably can't relate to it due to cultural differences.Being from Georgia, I see it not so much as spoof on reality shows, but a take on southern culture.Each of the characters in the early parts of the film remind me of people I knew when I was growing up.I also highly suggest taking a "smoke" break before you watch.I find it odd that most seem to prefer Mr. Show, while I think this movie is far funnier.I've also noticed people comparing this movie to "Joe Dirt".While I think "Joe Dirt" is a funnier movie, I don't think it's a fair comparison.If you want to see what being "white trash" is really about "Run Ronnie Run" is a much more accurate portrayal.That coming from someone who grew up in a trailer park in Georgia.

Run Ronnie Run, 2002 6/10, 28th best movie of 2002, 162nd best of the 2000's, 429th all time Mr. Show with Bob and Dave is one of my favorite shows. Run Ronnie Run was created by the makers of Mr. Show with Bob and Dave and actually based on one of the first scetches ever seen on that show. However, Run Ronnie Run is not one of my favorite movies of all time. What I saw here was exactlly what I saw when I watched Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy. What works extremely well as a 30 minute scetch comedy show doesn't work nearly as well as a 90 minute film. That's not to say the movie isn't enjoyable. There's some good laughs, and its really a fairly interesting plot. I liked the movie well enough, but overall I was expecting much better.

This movie is generally funny, but I can't imagine someone who hasn't seen the Ronnie Dobbs skits on Mr. Show finding it as funny as someone who has. It has a lot of really funny moments. Lots of fresh white trash jokes, not the same old recycled trailer park jokes from before. You can't beat a vomit eating dog. Then again, there were a lot of forced jokes, a bit of trying too hard to make me laugh. For some reason there were more cameos than you can shake a stick at. But the real stars of the show are David Cross and Bob Odenkirk and their sense of humor. It doesn't really apply to a wide demographic, but people that have enjoyed Mr. Show and Cross' stand up will appreciate the sense of humor. I do wish they played more than two or three roles and involved more of their Mr. Show characters into the movie. It did have Three Times One Minus One, which is good. It had Jack Black, which is very very bad. If you liked Mr. Show, you'll love this movie. If not, you won't pick up on everything and the magic of Ronnie Dobbs. It's like the Mr. Bean movie in how you'll appreciate it more if you liked the show, but dislike the recycling of the same jokes from the show.

You Might Like This Movie If.... You think the Dukes of Hazzard is funny.You Might Like This Movie If....You are from the north GA area - there's some good regional humor there that people from other places might not catch or enjoy. (what is presented as downtown Doraville is actually Covington, the same town square where DoH was filmed in part)You Might Like This Movie If.... You think films such as "Orgazmo" and "Cannibal - the Musical" are friggin hilarious. In other words, if you have a really rank, foul sense of humor. Like me.This movie has a definite demographic - if you don't fall into it, you won't like it. If you see the things you always laugh at on the evening news in it, it strangely works. It is indeed a BAD movie - but it is a full barbecue platter with a side of fried okra of a bad movie. However, if you can't sit through the entire abomination at least don't miss the full version of the Jack Black song in the special features. Unless you're - well - easily offended.If you're easily offended you had better skip Run Ronnie Run altogether.
