source: World's Greatest Dad

The most aggravating thing about World's Greatest Dad is that it *could* have been a good movie. The underlying plot idea is plausible and could be used to reveal the many levels of human self-deception. But the idea is handled so crudely that the movie becomes completely improbable. The characters, with only one or two exceptions, are unconvincing. There is no hint as to what Claire (Alexie Gilmore)sees in Lance Clayton (Robin Williams), and Kyle Clayton is too one-dimensional: nobody is that unrelentingly awful. If a man like Lance -- finding, due to hiding his shame, an outlet for his frustrated ambitions -- were to recant, it would be years down the line, not in the midst of the spotlight. I found the movie so jarring that I had to force myself to see it through. Die-hard Robin Williams' fans will disagree, but once again this actor plays his only character -- Robin Williams. In the end, this film doesn't know whether it's a comedy or a morality play, and one teenage character being shockingly inappropriate is only funny to other teenagers.

My wife and I were very Disappointed with this movie.Having Robin Williams in it was very misleading. Extrmely vulgar,language and trash talk from children.Gangbangers wouldn't use it. It was very depressing,not one bit funny. After 20 minutes she asked me to please turn nit off.Gladly I did. I don't know what Robin Williams was thinking? did he read the script? ,I don't remember seeing it on the theater billboards? I can see why. Save yourself and others time and money. By all means don't let children of any age watch it. obm4

Just joined IMDb for the privilege of posting a review of this film. I watched it with my wife expecting a wry dark comedy (what it says on the box) The characters are thin, Robin Williams is UN-credible and the plot is slow. The dialogue & subject matter is disgusting and repulsive - it is repeated and dwelled upon as if the director enjoys portraying this stuff. (AWOL teens from broken homes into sexual deviancy) The DVD had a rating of 14A !!! I would challenge anyone to think this would be suitable for their sons or daughters of ANY age. I get the impression that once one or two acclaimed review writers say they like the film, all others followed suite. To get blanket good reviews in the press of such a distressing film is simply unbelievable. Gave up watching about 50 minutes in & returned to DVD store next day. I've never done that with a movie before.

Horrible story, rotten acting and depressing as all get out. I do not know how movies like this get made. If you have a son, then don't watch this piece of garbage. It is depressing and it would be a very far stretch to call this a comedy. Any movie that has a tragic death as a focal point can not be labeled a comedy.My wife and I never laughed once. Robin Williams is funny actor with a penchant for making bad movies. I disliked this movie so much that I felt compelled to write a review, something I have never done and probably won't do again, but I felt it needed to be told how horrible the movie was. I expected Robin Williams to make me laugh, not to expose a disturbing but thankfully small segment of deviant teenage behavior. Avoid this movie at all cost.

CAUTION: SPOILERS --- First let me say that I totally understand the concept of "to each their own," so if some people liked this film then good for them. I, however, thought this film was pretty lame. Yes, I understand 'black comedy' and sometimes it's fantastic, but I thought most of the major themes, as well as the movie itself, was more disturbing than humorous. I'm also a pretty big Robin Williams fan, but I was pretty surprised he chose to play this character and just didn't think he fit with his role in this film. As for his son, Kyle: jeez, I don't know if I've ever hated a film character as much as that kid. I just can't easily recall being bothered so much by a character in a movie nor can I remember a more grotesque (teen) character ever. The brightest moment in the whole flick, as far as I'm concerned, was when the kid died. I've known some real pigs in my time and have, like most guys, heard (and have sometimes partaken in) quite a bit of 'trash talk' in my life, but I honestly never heard anyone talk like such a pig ever. The kid obviously had some serious issues, but we're never given any indication about why he's actually so disturbed (and disturbing). Were we ever told anything about the mother, or why the kid has such a negative attitude, especially towards his father? I guess it doesn't make any difference since it's not the point of the movie. Either way, I got absolutely ZERO entertainment value from this flick and thought the 90 minutes watching it was a major waste of time. It's all just my opinion, of course, and "good for you" to anyone else that liked it, but it just wasn't for me.

I think Robin Williams portrayed his character extremely well. His mix of emotion, sarcasm and humbleness flowed together excellently whilst moving consecutively, and concurrently at times. Robin Williams has shown time and time again that he is not just a rifting comedian but instead a true artist and lover of his craft, this film is no exception. Daryl Sabara has branched out into a medium of film I truly think he belongs. Who would have thought the little boy from Spy Kids could be so inviting as such a rightfully harsh and depraved character. I think this proves Bobcat Goldwaith as much more than people's general perception of him. Genius cast, genius writing, GENIUS FILM.

I saw this movie two weeks ago, because a friend of mine told me that it's a good dark comedy. I like dark humor, but I really didn't expected such a strong movie like this. When someone mention "a dark comedy", I usually think about "Don't be a menace to the South Central while drinking your juice in the hood". But, this is something different. Something that, if you are not psychically prepared, will hit you hard enough and make you feel sick. Robin Williams is a hell of an actor. I like his performances, and really appreciate what he has done for Hollywood. "World's greatest dad" is one of the best movies of the year. It's something that everyone will find a line of his character in this movie. It's about how ironical the life can be, and how people threat others, and what an egoistic creatures we are. I gave him 10/10, because it's one of the most important movies of the year, a movie that you must watch once in your life and face the truth that the worst thing in life is not to end up all alone, but to end up with people who make you feel all alone.

This movie worked very well as a dark comedy. It followed no set boundaries and goes its own way. The results are incredibly dark, sometimes being almost twisted. There are some scenes where the viewer doesn't know whether to laugh or feel sad. Robin Williams delivers his best performance in a while as Lance Clayton, a struggling writer striving for success and hell-bent on not dying alone. I personally found it rather impressive that it was both written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait because I'm personally not too big of a fan of his stand-up and this was a far departure from it. However, the one thing that I saw as holding the movie back was its climax, which I believed took the right route, but could have been more powerful or had a bit more of a sting to it. Overall, this movie, like Observe and Report released earlier in 2009, won't be for everyone, but it works very well in its own way.
