Review of World's Greatest Dad. Who knew that a comedy could be so dark?

World's Greatest Dad is about an average man, played by Robin Williams, who has the most unlikable son I've ever seen portrayed on screen. But Daryl Sabara nails it. This movie takes a dark turn about forty minutes in and the rest of the film is based on that twist so I'm going to cut this review short too and leave you with these words.The Verdict:World's Greatest Dad is a very dark, sad, and funny movie that had me anticipated for the next scene, made laugh a lot, and even proved to be a tear jerker at times. Altogether, this movie is a cult classic, usually providing for those who like an indie dramedy. But if you stick around long enough, you'll notice the heart that this film provides, and come out with the knowledge that it provides as well.I give it four naked middle-aged men diving out of five. 4/5.
