Run Ronnie Run is Joe Dirt's alter-ego/dark brother- his doppelganger. Joe Dirt is a mainstream hit, while Run Ronnie Run remains under the radar with it's crude edginess. Ronnie Dobbs first appeared in a comedy sketch on The Mr. Show series created by David Cross and Bob Odenkirk which ran on HBO from 1995-1998. The two teamed together to write and star in Run Ronnie Run. Director Tony Miller with a few seasons of MTV
's Real World under his belt, was a perfect match for the film with it's sarcastic spin on the world of reality television. Once it was completed, it was held by New Line Cinema for 2 1/2 years. It was never released theatrically and was finally released on DVD 9/16/2003. It's been reported that both Cross or Odenkirk disowned the final cut of the film. Regardless of the creator's disgust with the final product, the film is well worth the rental price or would make an awesome addition to an obscure DVD collection.
