When you hear that there is a movie called World's Greatest Dad starring Robin Williams, you probably think that its a lame ass family comedy, but behold, I give you the red band trailer (directed by Bobcat Goldthwait): <object width="450" height="287"><param name="movie" value="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/11798"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/11798" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" width="450" height="287" allowFullScreen="true"></embed></object> The Plot: Spoiler Robin Williams is a pretty decent guy who teaches poetry. His son is a piece of crap pervert who hates everything. The son dies in the act of auto-erotic asphyxiation. To leave him with some decency, William's character makes it look like a suicide and writes out a suicide note for his son. Yes, this is a comedy. It only gets more twisted from here as he starts to exploit and take advantage of his son's "suicide."
I didn't watch the trailer. Why, you might ask? Because I am the World's Greatest Dad. My daughter told me so.
When this comes out on DVD some kid is going to see Robin Williams and the title 'Worlds Greatest Dad' and beg his mom for it, and she of course not paying any attention and just wanting to shut him up and without looking to see the rating will get it for him and as the kid watching it will be from that point on that the kid will be scarred for life. I keep laughing the more I think about this
I don't think the kids are really jumping up and down at name recognition of Robin Williams these days.

No... although I will pray to extend your life by 2 minutes and 45 seconds. I'm debating whether or not to tell you that you will meet your end being dragged into the brush by a Bengal tiger.
