Watch World's Greatest Dad For Free

So much average

Best movie ever!

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

From the point of a cinema - something like a good film. But from the point of a viewer(me) - It was difficult to see to the end. Because of the disgusting son. Because of the awkward behavior of some of the characters. Because of the fact that Robin Williams acting in such movie.

Worlds Greatest Dad is a bizarrely fun movie to watch. Despite the title, this is not "fun for the whole family". In fact, it just may be an acquired taste, and I didn't want to admit that, because Robin Williams is in it, and most of his stuff is not limited to just one audience. He's pulled off many great performances, such as Popeye, Mrs. Doubtfire, and the unforgettable Patch Adams! In Worlds Greatest Dad...he's just a dad. He's just an average, ordinary guy, working as a teacher in a school. On the side, he's a struggling writer, trying to catch his big break as a paid author. He's written many books, all of which get discarded in the trash when he gets rejection notices. Surprisingly, he had a fan the whole, time, the neighbor lady, who took his work out of the trash, and read everything he wrote up to date. His son is Kyle, a perverted young teen who lets his hormones control him to the brink of impulsive behavior. ( He ties a leather belt around his neck, and connects it to the door, to enhance an orgasm. This is how lead singer of INXS hung himself and died. Not to be outdone, its not far from how Robin Williams killed himself.) He does not get along with his son, or rather, his son doesn't get along with him. When he comes home from school, he sees a picture of his dad, and sets it face down, so that he doesn't have to look at him even in a picture. When Kyle is found dead in an embarrassing situation, dad takes it upon himself to cover up the death as a suicide, not wanting the public to know that he died while masturbating. The suicide sparks plenty of unwanted attention from several sources, including a girl that he was trying to woo while he was in school. As the "suicide" death draws attention, poor dad is left in the center of all this muddle and bombarded with several questions. When he finally breaks down at the funeral and confesses the truth, it will leave an entire town shocked, disgusted, and unforgiving. In the end, it seems as though what dad did only made sense to himself. Worlds Greatest Dad is a very dark humored comedy, from director Bobcat. This isn't the first time Williams has worked with the Cat, he appeared as a volunteer for the mime instructor role in Shakes The Clown back in 1991. Again, this isn't a family movie, in fact, I would encourage you keep kids away from it. If you don't like it the first time, I strongly encourage you to give it another go when you are in the right mood. My favorite scene was when he goes swimming with David Bowie's "Under Pressure" song playing, a sense that he felt that he really felt as if he was under pressure from the outcry of an entire town that doesn't seem to understand why he lied about his sons death. A true parent who loves their child would truly understand. We love and miss you, Mr. Williams!!!!

I watched this movie after watching Robin William starer Dead Poets Society and i was surprised that same actor in same role of a English poetry teacher, can deliver two contrasting characters with such brilliance. If you want to watch a dark comedy where you are laughing at the plight of characters and the situation no matter how weird it may seem can bring out the laughter, go for it.It is also a reflection that once someone is dead same people who them you for a fool or never cared, show how much they meant to them.The movie also brings out the fact that all of us have some peculiarities of our own. You need more reason to watch it, the movie has a Queen-Bowie song...:P

So, I thought this was doing to be a goofy comedy similar to American Pie stuff--nonsense in other words. Well, it had American Pie content with the masturbation. But then it got more serious, and the son killing himself accidentally while masturbating in a faux hanging style . It is funny like that show with all those crazy ways people died, but it quickly becomes serious and sad. And so the whole film you are laughing one moment and in tears the next. At first I said 7/10 movie about a fourth of the way in. But then as it went on, it had a lot of depth. Kyle was a troubled young man who was very insecure, and so tried to cope with it by insulting and acting like a douchebag. You could see he was suffering. The actor did a really good job with the character. The part where Robin Williams' character first catches him masturbating in his strange way is well played out by the actor. Kyle's expression and words are so real. He plays it so realistic to a son being found by his dad masturbating, and Robin Williams likewise. And Kyle is played well until his death. Then Kyle dies, and Robin Williams holding his body in his arms quickly turns anything funny about the scene not funny. Tears come. And it is like this the whole movie. The depth comes in how, when they read "Kyle's" "suicide note" andjournal, they all suddenly like Kyle. It's not a, "Hey, we were jerks", but they act like Kyle was their friend. It shows how shallow people can be. Robin Williams plays the grieving father part so well. And they story and characters are very intelligent, too. The Kyle character is very real. What is called a douchebag, a guy who acts as if he is some sort of cool guy and everyone else is a loser because he is some insecure. And his friend with the drunk mother who represents the son that Kyle's father wished he had. Well, laughs and tears. Great movie.
