World's Greatest Dad (2009)
Robin Williams stars in this black comedy from writer/director Bobcat Goldthwait. A teacher's son is an arse hole that no one likes before he tops himself and becomes revered by people.
Despite this film doing the dreaded direct to video release it is actually pretty good. What the film is mainly about is the posthumous veneration of people and celebrity culture and it does this pretty well even it does take a little while to get to the point. The downside to the film is that I am not sure it really pushes the boundaries of either dark humour or satire far enough to be really funny which is a shame as there is plenty of good set up here.
4/5
