World's Greatest Dad
(directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, 2009)
It's hard for me to review this movie. I think it's one of the best films I've seen in quite a long time, and yet it's not at all perfect. I don't want to give away a major plot point because I feel it's better if you don't know about it, as I didn't, yet every other reviewer seems to be mentioning it.
Basically, Robin Williams stars as a high school teacher who writes books on the side, books that aren't getting published, but he's trying. He has a teenage son named Kyle (Daryl Sabara) who is a huge pervert and masturbates chronically... and dangerously, as he's into autoerotic asphyxiation. That's where you actually hang yourself while masturbating, as if you're committing suicide. It's supposed to create a truly powerful orgasm, so they say. Don't PM me with questions on whether that's true or not ~ I have never done it. Nor will I ever. Nor should you! People have died doing it.
Anyway, so Kyle is a chronic, messed up little masturbator who gets his jollies through his obsessions with fecophilia (he's a poop lover), nasty old women, anal sex, and the list probably goes on and on. He loves to call his dad "retarded" and he's also mostly a loner, except for one friend, Andrew, who hangs around him constantly and is meek.
Later on, though, the film turns into a Heathers for the 2000's.
But, the ending is flat, despite a swimming pool scene with a completely nude Robin Williams.
The movie revolves around a secret that Robin Williams is keeping... kinda like Mrs. Doubtfire... though, Robin didn't end up nude in that. He could have, though. He could have.
I like it and I can't wait for the Blu-ray release... I hope there's gonna be a Blu-ray release, at least.
Order it now... OnDemand cable.
