I take a liking towards movies that make me feel – whether the emotion is ecstatic and uplifted or distraught and uncomfortable, they’re emotions that make a satisfying movie treat. World’s Greatest Dad was deep, dark, and depressing, but comedic in a really twisted way. I’ve grown fascinated with dark comedies over the years because they’ve mastered how to put you in a state of agony while they rip your heart out and make you laugh at the same time. Click here for the premise of the movie. The acting was convincing and well done, especially from the boy who played Robin Williams’ son, who managed to get under my skin so much so that I hated his guts and wanted to throw a rock at him through the television screen. There are mixed reviews about the movie but I’m siding with the positive ones. The ending was weak and left me wanting more, but I enjoyed it all around.
World’s Greatest Dad.
