Leave your thoughts about World's Greatest Dad.
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsI loved the film's what-the-hell attitude to production values. The cinematography is no better than it should be, the sets are any place that will plug in a production cable. I loved the sourly but smartly inventive script. |
| Time OutTom HuddlestonThe bravest, smartest comedy of the year. |
| News of the WorldRobbie CollinBeware that poster, with its jolly red writing and Mork from Ork's face thereon. This is not the Robin Williams of Old Dogs and License To Wed. |
| Film ThreatScott KnopfA very funny comedy. It’s a very funny comedy that almost made me cry. |
| Film4Catherine BrayA startlingly excellent dark comedy about the power of positive posthumous PR. One of 2010's must-see movies. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsLouis ProyectNot a terrible movie about a Walter Mitty dad and a creepy son who kills himself through asphyxiation while jerking off. If you like dark comedy, you will like this. At least, it is more interesting than the latest commodity from Jude Apatow. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderFor fans of perversely dark comedy, World's Greatest Dad is a treasure trove of morbid sarcasm and gleeful malevolence. |
| CinerinaKarina MontgomeryThis is the sort of movie that sends me to the keyboard to topple negative expectations, praise the participants, and hopefully drive up their box office a little. |
| Palo Alto WeeklyPeter CanaveseAn amusing, cynical black comedy about our national addiction to tragedy, and our commoditization of grief... |
| Critic's NotebookRobert LevinThe film works best for a simple reason: the depth of feeling Goldthwait and Williams pour into the story of the coming of age of a middle-aged man. |
