"Lance Clayton is about to get everything he deserves."

World's Greatest Dad (2009)
Directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, rated R, 99 minutes

World's Greatest Dad is brutally dark and truly moving black comedy about a father who, after his son dies in an embarrassing accident, exploits his death to get his writing career back on track. Robin Williams has no trouble with the deadpan comedy, but he also delivers a surprisingly touching performance, thanks to an interesting and well written character. This film isn't just dark, it's painfully dark, but the plot is clever and is never dull. World's Greatest Dad doesn't pull any punches in terms of dark comedy and powerful dramatic moments, which makes it a unique and refreshing experience. You'll like it if: You like black comedies, independent comedies, Robin Williams, Happiness or American Beauty.
