World's Greatest Dad

Robin Williams stars as Lance Clayton, a man who has learned to settle. He dreams of being a rich and famous writer, but has only managed to make it as an unpopular high school poetry teacher. His only son Kyle(Daryl Sabara) is an insufferable jackass and won't give his father the time of day. Lance is dating Claire (Alexie Gilmore), the school's adorable art teacher, but she doesn't want to get serious, or even acknowledge publicly that they are dating.

Then, in the wake of a freak accident, Lance suffers the worst tragedy and the greatest opportunity of his life. He is suddenly faced with the possibility of all the fame, fortune and popularity he ever dreamed of, if he can only live with the knowledge of how he got there.

Critic Reviews:

• " The film's direction isn't always confident – there are baggy sections, and it's rarely deeply moving – but it is consistently funny. " – Anna Smith

• " 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

• " 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
