World's Greatest Dad

"Goldthwait's script turns into a surprisingly restrained, focused sendup of the blind adulation often bestowed on flawed personalities once they croak too soon."

"More wanking jokes than you can throw a sausage at, Williams on top form and a darkly comic core of truth and sadness: what threatens to be the World’s Greatest Dud proves anything but."

"The bravest, smartest comedy of the year."

"With a merciless acuity this nihilistic comedy ridicules collective grief and the news media's cynical marketing of inspirational uplift after a death."

"This film is bold and provocative, but it's weak at the core. It is the weakness of an old dog trying desperately to learn new tricks."

"Odd, confident, challenging, and featuring a brilliant turn by Williams. If only there was just a little more to it."
