Father of the Year

Just finished this. A pitch-perfect DARK and funny meditation on lies, honesty and hypocrisy. I'm usually not a Robin Williams kind of guy, but he really used his talents for good this time. Recommend. Directed by Bobcat Goldthwait if you can believe that. I still see him as the bizarro criminal in Police Academy 2.

The whole Bruce Hornsby bit cracked me up.

This was called "World's Greatest Dad" - got confused with the horrendous 'Man of the Year'

I know a number of people who have seen and loved this. But, Robin Williams, I just can't.

You can Dante. You can do this. It's got straight-up, solo auto-erotic aphyxiation in it - I can't think of any other movie that actually has that. Not that that's a reason to see it, just that the movie's got some nuts.

Smirk is right! Saw it on netflix instant watch and it was pretty good stuff. Good movie, it's a story I haven't seen before, good stuff. The ending was a little over the top (running down the hall bit) but other then that it was good.

Throughout the movie I couldn't decide if I wanted him to come clean in the end or keep going with the lie. the scene with the opera talk show host was awesome.
