Run Ronnie Run! is an American comedy film and a spin-off inspired by the HBO sketch comedy show Mr. Show. The recurring character Ronnie Dobbs (David Cross) is the focal point of the movie. It was directed by Troy Miller. While the film was produced in 2001 it was released direct-to-video in 2003.
Ronnie Dobbs (David Cross)—a redneck petty criminal whose hijinks are caught on tape by a Cops-like television show called Fuzz—is noticed by failing infomercial personality/inventor Terry Twillstein (Bob Odenkirk), who notices Dobbs's popularity with lowbrow viewers. He promotes the idea for a Ronnie Dobbs show to television executives entitled "Ronnie Dobbs Gets Arrested" in which Ronnie is arrested in a different city each week. The show becomes a phenomenal success leading to a level of fame & fortune that dramatically changes Dobbs' life.
Many of the regular cast members of Mr. Show made appearances in the film, such as Jill Talley as Dobbs's occasional wife. Unlike on Mr. Show, where they each played a wide variety of characters in each episode, Odenkirk and Cross portrayed a single character throughout the film, with the exception of a brief appearance by R&B duo Three Times One Minus One. Jack Black starred as a chimney sweep who sings "The Golden Rule Song".
Many well known celebrities had brief cameos in the film, such as Trey Parker, Matt Stone, John Stamos, Rebecca Romijn, Ben Stiller, Jeff Goldblum, Blaine Cartwright, Mandy Patinkin, David Baddiel, Jeff Garlin, Scott Ian & Kathy Griffin.
