This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

From the point of a cinema - something like a good film. But from the point of a viewer(me) - It was difficult to see to the end. Because of the disgusting son. Because of the awkward behavior of some of the characters. Because of the fact that Robin Williams acting in such movie.

Worlds Greatest Dad is a bizarrely fun movie to watch. Despite the title, this is not "fun for the whole family". In fact, it just may be an acquired taste, and I didn't want to admit that, because Robin Williams is in it, and most of his stuff is not limited to just one audience. He's pulled off many great performances, such as Popeye, Mrs. Doubtfire, and the unforgettable Patch Adams! In Worlds Greatest Dad...he's just a dad. He's just an average, ordinary guy, working as a teacher in a school. On the side, he's a struggling writer, trying to catch his big break as a paid author. He's written many books, all of which get discarded in the trash when he gets rejection notices. Surprisingly, he had a fan the whole, time, the neighbor lady, who took his work out of the trash, and read everything he wrote up to date. His son is Kyle, a perverted young teen who lets his hormones control him to the brink of impulsive behavior. ( He ties a leather belt around his neck, and connects it to the door, to enhance an orgasm. This is how lead singer of INXS hung himself and died. Not to be outdone, its not far from how Robin Williams killed himself.) He does not get along with his son, or rather, his son doesn't get along with him. When he comes home from school, he sees a picture of his dad, and sets it face down, so that he doesn't have to look at him even in a picture. When Kyle is found dead in an embarrassing situation, dad takes it upon himself to cover up the death as a suicide, not wanting the public to know that he died while masturbating. The suicide sparks plenty of unwanted attention from several sources, including a girl that he was trying to woo while he was in school. As the "suicide" death draws attention, poor dad is left in the center of all this muddle and bombarded with several questions. When he finally breaks down at the funeral and confesses the truth, it will leave an entire town shocked, disgusted, and unforgiving. In the end, it seems as though what dad did only made sense to himself. Worlds Greatest Dad is a very dark humored comedy, from director Bobcat. This isn't the first time Williams has worked with the Cat, he appeared as a volunteer for the mime instructor role in Shakes The Clown back in 1991. Again, this isn't a family movie, in fact, I would encourage you keep kids away from it. If you don't like it the first time, I strongly encourage you to give it another go when you are in the right mood. My favorite scene was when he goes swimming with David Bowie's "Under Pressure" song playing, a sense that he felt that he really felt as if he was under pressure from the outcry of an entire town that doesn't seem to understand why he lied about his sons death. A true parent who loves their child would truly understand. We love and miss you, Mr. Williams!!!!

Mr. Clayton is an unpopular teacher who lives his even more unpopular jerk of a son, Kyle. When Kyle accidentally kills himself while masturbating (no I'm not making this up), Clayton makes it look like suicide to spare his son's dignity (at least somewhat). Eventually, when Kyle's "suicide note" (actually written by Clayton) is published in the school paper, people begin to see Kyle as a hero, and Clayton, by association, becomes much more popular. The film shows how death can erase all flaws from from individuals. At every funeral there's always people saying wonderful things about the deceased. "He was such a kind man." or "She was a bright spot in our life." But were they really? This movie takes it even further as the whole school becomes convinced that Kyle was a misunderstood genius. Bobcat Goldthwait is some sort of genius himself when it comes to satire, and though this is not as vicious and controversial as his later film "God Bless America", there are still many great comedic moments. One of my favourite parts is: The Principle: "Hardy anyone came to the funeral. I felt bad, I should have gone." Counsellor: "Don't blame yourself. It was a weekday." But the film also has it's fair share of drama as well- the scene where Clayton finds his son dead is heartbreaking. Robin Williams was a great comedian, but people sometimes forget that he was also an amazing dramatic actor as well. The way he underplays certain scenes allows for a great build up of his character, making the cathartic release that much more satisfying. World's Greatest Dad is a very good movie that you should definitely check out.
