Plot

Ronnie Dobbs, a redneck petty criminal whose scams were caught on tape by a Cops-like television show called Fuzz, is noticed by failing infomercial personality/inventor Terry Twillstein (Bob Odenkirk), who sees Dobbs's popularity with lowbrow viewers. He promotes the idea to television executives for a show, "Ronnie Dobbs Gets Arrested" in which he is arrested in a different city each week. The show becomes phenomenally successful, making Dobbs rich and famous and changing his life dramatically. // Redneck, in modern usage, predominantly refers to a particular stereotype of people who may be found in many regions of the United States or Canada. ...

Cast

Many of the regular cast members of Mr. Show made appearances, including Jill Talley as Dobbs's occasional wife, and several Hollywood actors made cameos, usually as themselves.

Production difficulties

The film experienced a troubled production. Cross and Odenkirk, the principal writers and actors, disowned the final version. Odenkirk accused the director of seizing control of the editing process and refusing to speak directly with him and Cross^[1]. Cross demanded to receive no creditation or any part of the revenues. Though the film was screened at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival, it never reached theaters. New Line Cinema held the film for over 2 years before releasing a final cut direct-to-video in 2003. The Sundance Film Festival is a film festival in the United States, and ranks alongside the Cannes, France, Venice, Italy, Berlin, Germany, and Toronto, Canada festivals as one of the most prestigious in the world. ...
