"World's Greatest Dad"(2009)--B+
I had no intention of writing up a review for this movie, but it just kind of snuck up on me, and I wanted to share it. Bobcat Goldthwaite has a made a dark dark, almost subversive film, that really has a lot to say about the way we idealize death in our society. It holds a mirror to our hypocrisy, using someone's life as a blank canvas, creating someone completely different, from the brush strokes that had already been painted for that life. This isn't a movie for everyone. What movie is? But if you're looking to think, and be entertained (in a weird/funny way), then check it out. This movie sat on my queue for quite a while. I'm so glad I got around to it.
Til next time Filmland readers! Smiling is half the battle.
