Film Review: Worlds Greatest Dad





I really cant stand Robin Williams but he wasn't his usual gurning self in this - i still dont like him but i was glad i watched this and that was mainly beacuse of him. Basically its about a father an son who dont get along - nothing really happens at first but slowly some odd stuff followed by more crazy goings-on happen and there's no point in going to much into it suffice to say that happily enough it left me feeling somewhat satisfied at the end. Its been a long time since a Robin Williams film did that to me. I dont want to big him up too much tho cos i still dont like him. His son is played by the boy in Spy Kids and he more than handles his own in this too - albeit eqquipped with some fuckin grotesque fuckin language, but i guess that the point of the film. The T.I.L.F. (teacher i'd like to f*ck) is suitable sexy and the rest of the supporting cast only really come into their own about halfway through. There's a few funny moments but they are few and far between - more interestingly is the dynamics between father and son and trying to understand the reasons why exactly he has claim to be the worlds greatest dad. Its not overly long and i suggest you check it out if there's f*ck all else you're doing this weeked (not say like going to a music festival). Oh yeah and its directed by Zed from Police Academy 2, 3 & 4 - if that means anything to anybody. A suprisingly suprising film, especially considering it stars Robin Williams. 3 / 5
