The second watch through and I loved it even more! Robin Williams never fails to amaze me in his many roles that he does and he does me proud in this well made with a deep message remarkable film. I miss you Robin, i'm glad you can still live on in your films.

Kyle (son): I didn't ask to be born, you know. Lance (father): Neither did I. Kyle (son): boo hoo. This scene will stick with me. I think it's a great film, even though some parts are definitely a stratch. It shows us that sometimes we just get what we get, no matter how we try. And sometimes the best thing you could do is to accept it. It also shows how easy it is to create a wrongful cult based on nothing but own wishful thinking. Great movie. And noone could this role better than Robin Williams.

One of Robin Williams best later day performances and a very well written story Worlds Greatest Dad has a lot of dark humor but also has a pretty strong message. It may not be easily approachable to a mainstream audience but its probably worthy of more acclaim than it got.
