This movie worked very well as a dark comedy.
It followed no set boundaries and goes its own way.
The results are incredibly dark, sometimes being almost twisted.
There are some scenes where the viewer doesn’t know whether to laugh or feel sad.
Robin Williams delivers his best performance in a while as Lance Clayton, a struggling writer striving for success and hell-bent on not dying alone.
The movie’s message: you can drag a man to water, but you can’t make him drink, and what a great message that is.
Robin Williams stars as Lance Clayton, a man who has learned to settle.
He dreamed of being a rich and famous writer, but has only managed to make it as a high school poetry teacher.
His only son Kyle is an insufferable jackass who won’t give his father the time of day.
He is dating Claire the school’s adorable art teacher, but she doesn’t want to get serious — or even acknowledge publicly that they are dating.
Then, in the wake of a freak accident, Lance suffers the worst tragedy and greatest opportunity of his life.
have fun!
