- dolorescmDecember 3, 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.. .
- "THE MOVIE FANATIC"April 15, 2026I 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....on top of that 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!!!!
