First off, this is NOT a comedy movie, so if your are expecting roll-on-the-floor laughter you will be very disappointed. This movie is a drama that deals with loneliness, sorry and suicide. Robin Williams teams up with Bobcat Goldthwait (Who wrote and directed the movie and has a cameo) in this drama about a father who is a failed writer who's son accidentally dies from autoerotic asphyxiation (Look that up if you don't know what it is). Williams is so ashamed of this that he decides to cover it up by writing a suicide note to cover the incident. However, once he gets to writing the note he cannot stop himself and he writes a journal and passes it off as written by his son. Everyone loves the journal and things quickly get out of hand. The movie starts our slow but soon enough it gets better and eventually you see where the movie is going. Just be aware that the movie is not funny, its a drama that deals with some serious issues. That said, the movie is pretty good and entertaining and I suggest you get this one, you will not be disappointed.Read full review
I wasn't at all impressed with this movie. To me it was just one more low budget film trying to make a quick buck. Robin Williams is notorious for making these type movies. Who stands up in front of all their child's classmates and calls their son a douche bag after his death? But one ironic thing about this movie is one of the lines by Williams when he describes suicide as being a long term answer to a short term problem. Then he himself commits suicide in real life. I think he should have taken his own advice.
As a fan of Robin WIlliams and avid collector of his films I felt the need to give this movie a try. And I'm so glad I did. The movie is very dark and not for children but for the intended audience it is fantastic. If you're a fan of Bobcat Goldthwait, or Robin's standup check this one out. If you're a fan of his in movies like Patch Adams, Flubber, or RV. You're going to hate it
Excellent movie! Funny all the way thru with a little drama, reminds me of the movie heathers, similar story line.
