Starring the inimitable Robin Williams at his comedic best, WORLD’S GREATEST DAD is a highly original, crowd-pleasing comedy which will have you both falling off your seat in fits of laughter and hiding behind it in uncomfortable, uncontrollable giggles. But regardless of your vantage point, Screen International describes the Film as ‘hilarious’ and ‘outrageously entertaining’… and they’re absolutely right! Lance Clayton is a good man. He is a doting single father and a dedicated poetry teacher with aspirations of becoming a wealthy and successful writer. So far unpublished, it’s not that he lacks talent, it’s just that in his quiet lonely existence he’s never had the inspiration to write anything extraordinary. Lance’s teenaged son Kyle on the other hand is an unpleasant, foul-mouthed, bratty, insolent, hormone-fuelled moron who goes out of his way to hurt everyone around him… especially his father. When Kyle accidentally kills himself during a freak auto-erotic experiment, Lance pulls his son’s trousers up and instinctively goes about pouring his heart into writing a fake suicide note, which portrays Kyle to be a gifted, misunderstood genius, painfully berated by his peers. This is a love letter to the son he wished he had, and is soon to become Lance’s masterpiece… When Lance’s initially selfless act turns his deceased jack-ass of a son into a revered tragic hero, Lance finds himself using this unusual platform to promote himself to the literary superstardom he always dreamed of. But when he gets to the heady heights of an Oprah-style national TV talk-show, his emotions start to unravel in one of the funniest scenes Robin Williams has ever brought to the screen. WORLD’S GREATEST DAD is an hysterically funny comedy about the trials of fatherhood, brought to you by the Producers of cult classics ‘Donnie Darko’ and ‘Shortbus’, Sundance favourite Bobcat Goldthwait, and the hilarious Robin Williams in a virtuoso performance that’ll have you rolling in the aisles… |
