World's Greatest Dad - 2009 - 4 Stars

Actors: Robin Williams, Daryl Sabara
Director: Bobcat Goldthwait

World's Greatest Dad might be the funniest film I've seen from the last five years. It's darkly hilarious and yet at the center there's actually a heart. Furthermore, not only is there a great performance by Robin Williams, but he doesn't even have a scene where he does 6 different voices in the space of a minute. Williams is underrated as an actor because of his tendency towards improvisation and look-at-me scenery chewing - when directors can get him away from those things, he's capable of both sincerity and humor.
