Description
A dark comedy from writer-director Bobcat Goldthwait (Sleeping Dogs Lie) that is outrageous in its premise but ultimately thoughtful and poignant, World's Greatest Dad stars Robin Williams as a single father who begins this story as candidate for "least appreciated dad." A high school poetry teacher who long ago suppressed his dream to be a successful novelist, Lance Clayton finds limited comfort in a casual affair with lovely art teacher Claire (Alexie Gilmore), but endures daily torment from his son (Daryl Sabara), a troubled youth who happens to be an insufferable, sex-obsessed adolescent. Suddenly a freak accident confronts Lance with both the worst tragedy and the greatest opportunity of his life. An ultimate fatherly gesture inadvertently brings him all the fame and recognition he ever coveted, but Lance must decide whether he can tolerate playing the games of a society all-too-eager to embrace inspirational fiction over sober truth.
