World's Greatest Dad

This is the definition of black satirical comedies.

this movie was awful from the getgo. i’ve appreciated black comedies, but i feel like this one is pushing the envelope too far and i could barely stomach the movie. granted, being a RW fan could be a bias bc i expect better, but i was throughly disgusted by the plot of this movie

2/10

Somewhere between meh and like. I related to the idea of people death-bandwagoning. Really weird show, really weird review.

Rating: 7.2/10 ⭐️

The Good:

• Dark Satire: The film is a fearless black comedy that explores our culture's hypocritical obsession with tragedy and fame.
• Brilliant Performance: Robin Williams delivers a nuanced and brave performance as Lance Clayton, balancing desperation and comedic brilliance.
• Unflinching Direction: Bobcat Goldthwait's direction is unapologetic, using cringe humor to make sharp social commentary.

The Not So Good:

• Provocative Subject Matter: The film's core subject matter is intentionally provocative and may be off-putting for some audiences.
• Extreme Character: The character of Kyle is designed to be devoid of redeeming qualities, making him difficult to watch.
• Uncomfortable Viewing: The film's commitment to cringe comedy and challenging themes makes it a deliberately uncomfortable viewing experience.

The Verdict:
World's Greatest Dad is a daring and intelligent black comedy that solidifies Bobcat Goldthwait as a unique voice in independent film. With a career-best performance from Robin Williams, it's a searing critique of modern culture that's both unforgettable and thought-provoking. While challenging to watch, it's an essential film for fans of bold satire

Insane premise that is carried by Robin Williams.
