Synopsis:
A story about a man who learns that the things you want most may not be the things that make you happy. Lance Clayton (Robin Williams) is a man who has learnt to settle. He dreamed of being a rich and famous writer, but has only managed to make it as a high school poetry teacher. His only son Kyle (Daryl Sahara) is an insufferable jackass who won't give his father the time of day. Then, in the wake of a freak accident, Lance suffers the worst tragedy and the greatest opportunity of his life. He is suddenly faced with the possibility of all the fame, fortune and popularity he ever dreamed of, if he can only live with the knowledge of how he got there.

I enjoyed it enormously; a clever combination of humour & pathos. - World's Greatest Dad review by DW

Spoiler Alert

Watching this versatile performance from Robin Williams was yet another confirmation of his apparently easy ability to shine. Sadly, we were not to know about his own inner demons. The final ultra-schmaltzy scene is a winner for me!

Quite dark humour - World's Greatest Dad review by Rob

Spoiler Alert
30/10/2018

Didn't like this film. It tries to have dark humour, but it was often cringe worthy or nastily shocking.
