Review of World's Greatest Dad (2009) by Bill B — 20 Aug 2013
It's an odd film, for sure, but the very morbid sense of humor Goldthwait has about us in a society of 'fakers," and a venturesome but juicy performance from Williams make Bobcat's newest feature the most riveting black comedy in ages.
Walking over any moral line without any hesitation and exploring the hypocrisies of human nature and defiling the very face of self-gratification, Dad doesn't intend to take any prisoners, rather vilifying anyone that stands in its way, and in its own sickly profound way, it succeeds wickedly.
It is nihilistic as it is heart-warming; it is cynical as it is optimistic--- it is Bobcat giving society and the media all the middle finger. By exposing the superficial fabrications of a deceased celebrity, Bobcat assures us all that no matter how inappropriate or disgusting it is to be true, honesty is better than being a self-righteous hypocrite.
