World's Greatest Dad Ratings & Reviews
- dolorescm3 December 2025It's such a great movie, with an amazing and inspiring message. Yes it's easier to live a lie, but it's so much better to live the truth. And it's always better to have a few real people in your life than to have bunch of fake ones. It's really sad that Robin did end his own life. He was such amazing actor.. .
- melissamallaby10 September 2025Fantastic and sad, not gonna say anything because I don't want to ruin it
- JM14 June 2025It's a good movie.
- Jordan Jones3 days agoI thought the movie had a lot to say in terms of the subject matter, on losing a family member and ultimately sends out a very important & powerful message at the heart of it...about what loss & grief does to a person and especially a parent. I totally bought & understood why Lance wanted to go along with that lie, about Kyle being a hidden genius and not knowing how to cope with it....with the added reason of not wanting his son to be remembered as a really horrible person instead!!! I thought Robin Williams was great and really made the film a lot better, than it had any right being. World's Greatest Dad is definitely a film that I highly recommend. And tbh I've never even heard of it before, until I came across it on here and I'm so glad that I did....imo World's Greatest Dad is Robin Williams R.I.P 🙏🕊 hidden gem 💎 in his entire filmography!!!!
- kthekalakaar5 April 2026I used to think the worst thing in life is to end up all alone. It isn't. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone. A must watch !!
- Abid Patel12 March 2026Dad tries to honour son but realises his passion for writing. An absurd american drama. Can only happen in the US.
