Review of World's Greatest Dad (2009) by Kris W — 20 Oct 2010

"Lance Clayton is about to get everything he deserves.".

Writte and directed by comedian Bobcat Goldhwait, suprisingly watchable. Any movie with a high school students accidental death being made to look like a suicide as its premise is going to be compared to "Heathers", which is still a better film that has aged really well. That being said, Robin Williams is terrific, and there is enough good ideas and dialogue. Look for a cameo from former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic.

Lance Clayton: I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is ending up with people who make you feel all alone.

Lance Clayton: Come on now, Kyle, you must be passionate about something.

Kyle: You wanna know what I like? I like looking at vaginas.

Lance Clayton: Oh.

Kyle: All day long.

Kyle: Bruce Hornsby's a fag.

Lance Clayton: He's got kids Kyle.

Kyle: You have a kid. And you're a fag.

Andrew: You know what's strange about the book?

Lance Clayton: What?

Andrew: Kyle never talks about vaginas, anal sex, fisting, felching, or rimjobs.

Lance Clayton: Yeah, it is a little light in the felching area, you're right. But I think it's there, Andrew, in its own way.

Lance Clayton: You guys didn't like Kyle. That's okay. I didn't either. I loved him. He was my son. But he was also a douchebag.
