- Synopsis:
- A story about a man who learns that the things you want most may not be the things that make you happy. Lance Clayton (Robin Williams) is a man who has learnt to settle. He dreamed of being a rich and famous writer, but has only managed to make it as a high school poetry teacher. His only son Kyle (Daryl Sahara) is an insufferable jackass who won't give his father the time of day.

Reviews (2) of World's Greatest Dad
I enjoyed it enormously; a clever combination of humour & pathos. - World's Greatest Dad review by DW
Watching this versatile performance from Robin Williams was yet another confirmation of his apparently easy ability to shine. Sadly, we were not to know about his own inner demons. The final ultra-schmaltzy scene is a winner for me!

Quite dark humour - World's Greatest Dad review by Rob
Didn't like this film. It tries to have dark humour, but it was often cringe worthy or nastily shocking.
