A high school poetry teacher and single father discovers that the thing he covets most in life may not be what makes him truly happy in this pitch-black comedy directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, and starring Robin Williams. Lance Clayton (Williams) is a mild-mannered high school teacher from Seattle who was granted sole custody of his son, Kyle (Daryl Sabara), following a nasty divorce. As hard as Lance tries to connect with his hostile, loathsome son, all he receives for his sincere efforts are insults and scorn. The only things Kyle seems to care about are violent video games and internet porn, the latter obsession eventually serving to alienate the foul-mouthed teen from his sole friend, Andrew (Evan Martin). His books rejected by publishers and his poetry class on the verge of being canceled due to student disinterest, Lance does find a bit of happiness in his relationship with pretty art instructor Claire (Alexie Gilmore), though these days her gaze is drifting toward handsome young English teacher Mike (Henry Simmons), who recently celebrated the publication of his very first piece in The New Yorker. Then, one day, Lance discovers his son dead, the apparent victim of autoerotic asphyxiation gone horribly awry. In order to give the boy some dignity in death, Lance pens a suicide note before summoning the authorities. By chance, that note is published in Kyle's school newspaper, instantly transforming him into a misunderstood cult icon among the impressionable student body. Now, tragedy has become opportunity for Lance. Can the grieving father live with the knowledge of how he achieved such fame, or has he sacrificed his own soul in his blind quest to garner the kind of fame that has eluded him his entire life? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Some New Trailer For World's Greatest Dad
New Review For Movie World's Greatest Dad
The bravest, smartest comedy of the year.Tom Huddleston-Time Out
Goldthwait's script turns into a surprisingly restrained, focused sendup of the blind adulation often bestowed on flawed personalities once they croak too soon.
Dennis Harvey-Variety
Offering Robin Williams his richest role in memory while serving up a nice cold bowl of shock soup for the audience, World's Greatest Dad is a surprisingly smart and severely twisted dark comedy from comic Bobcat Goldthwait.
Tom Long-Detroit News
Making Kyle godawful may seem edgy, even authentic. But it's pure setup.
Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post
With his delicate mix of sick humor and compassion, Goldthwait is that rare comic writer who can legitimately be compared to Lenny Bruce.
J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
There's more going on here than the age-old struggle between maturity and its surly teen antithesis.
Amy Biancolli-San Francisco Chronicle
... This voyage through the moral maze is more entertaining and whisper it quietly, more profound, than most.
Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray
Goldthwait has given it a title that will make some shy away. But don't. It's a comedy about the particularly American capacity to create legends out of the dead, and it's sharper than most.
Derek Malcolm-This is London
Beware that poster, with its jolly red writing and Mork from Ork's face thereon. This is not the Robin Williams of Old Dogs and License To Wed.
Robbie Collin-News of the World
A comedy of quite astonishing blackness.
-Daily Express
Writer/director Bobcat Goldthwait can't quite manage to bring things to a satisfying conclusion, but he's good enough at weaving the freakishly perverse into the everyday without the results seeming too forced.
Alistair Harkness-Scotsman
Goldthwait's pacing is uncertain, and his humour is frequently "off", but the sense of risky provocation is compelling.
Anthony Quinn-Independent
We can't wait to see what Goldthwait does next.
Ellen E Jones-Little White Lies
It's good to see Williams trying something darker than usual, but it's a pity the whimsy is laid on so thick.
David Edwards-Daily Mirror [UK]
Sadly, the ending seems unsatisfying but the journey there is a funny one.
Alex Zane-Sun Online
Williams keeps his head above water, and a giddy climax recuperates some of the original energy -- enough, at least, to make this director's next project one worth rooting for anew.
Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph
This film is bold and provocative, but it's weak at the core. It is the weakness of an old dog trying desperately to learn new tricks.
Xan Brooks-Guardian [UK]
It's the most daring black comedy of the year, and I admire its willingness to be not only vicious, but downright un-American.
Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK]
What threatens to be the World's Greatest Dud proves anything but.
Matt Glasby-Total Film
The cinematography and some of the performances are not stellar, but Goldthwait's script is extraordinary, examining the choices we make between surviving and really living.
Karen Krizanovich-Radio Times
Odd, confident, challenging, and featuring a brilliant turn by Williams. If only there was just a little more to it.
Dan Jolin-Empire Magazine
A startlingly excellent dark comedy about the power of positive posthumous PR. One of 2010's must-see movies.
Catherine Bray-Film4
If creating cutting-edge comedy is about pushing boundaries then World's Greatest Dad comfortably fits the bill.
Simon Reynolds-Digital Spy
I loved the film's what-the-hell attitude to production values. The cinematography is no better than it should be, the sets are any place that will plug in a production cable. I loved the sourly but smartly inventive script.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times
While it won't be everyone's cuppa, it's a welcome return to form for Williams. If only someone could get him to sign that no-nudity clause...
Elliott Noble-Sky Movies
