World's Greatest Dad has one of the worst endings I have ever seen. The film is funny and ruthless and, you think, smart, until the last five minutes hit and you realize that Bobcat apparently had no idea about why his satire was working so well. He demolishes his whole film, right there. And it's not even a competent sell-out; the Williams character undergoes a change yet seems to have no real moment of recognition, unless it happened off-screen. Huh--wha?

Such a grave disappointment.

World's Greatest Dad has trouble finding if it wants to be a drama or comedy. Both parts work out alright but it would of been nice if the film could of chosen a side. Robin Williams does a fine job in his role and so does some of the supporting cast but boy was Daryl Sabara so irratating his entire time on screen. The plot is nice and all but the last few minutes really ruin parts of what the film built up to be. Eh its a decent comedy/drama. **
