A children's TV star is fired after being caught taking bribes to let youngsters on his show - and promptly embarks on an increasingly terrifying campaign of revenge on the lovable cuddly rhino who `stole' his slot in the schedules. Black comedy from director Danny DeVito, who also stars, alongside Robin Williams, Edward Norton, Catherine Keener and John Stewart.

Tells the story of Rainbow Randolph, the corrupt, costumed star of a popular children's TV show, who is fired over a bribery scandal and replaced by squeaky-clean Smoochy, a puffy fuchsia rhinoceros. As Smoochy catapults to fame - scoring hit ratings and the affections of a network executive - Randolph makes the unsuspecting rhino the target of his numerous outrageous attempts to exact revenge and reclaim his status as America's sweetheart.
