	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Dan Jolin Empire	"Odd, confident, challenging, and featuring a brilliant turn by Williams. If only there was just a little more to it (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"Though hampered by an uneven tone and a disturbing conclusion, World's Greatest Dad is a bold, black comedy balanced by an unexpected sense of humanity (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"Bobcat Goldthwait's latest comedy, blows up every rule of taste, good cinema, and common sense, and somehow gets away with it (...) Williams hasn't been this sympathetic in years"	POS
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"In 'World’s Greatest Dad' the concept is everything. Cinematically the movie doesn’t amount to much"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"Robin Williams is the star, demonstrating once again that he's sometimes better in drama than comedy (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Xan Brooks The Guardian	"This film is bold and provocative, but it's weak at the core. It is the weakness of an old dog trying desperately to learn new tricks (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
