After his son (Daryl Sabara) dies in an awkward freak accident, high school poetry teacher Lance (Robin Williams) ghostwrites a suicide note to spare the family embarrassment. But when the note becomes an unexpected hit, Lance sees a chance to resurrect his writing career. In a bid for literary fame, Lance writes his son's journal and passes it off as his own. Writer-director Bob Goldthwait's comedy debuted at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. (Per Netflix.com)
Grade: B+
This was an amazingly odd, and yet really funny movie. First of all, Lance and his son's relationship is a totally strange one, to say the least. This movie had a good way of leading you through different emotions, and that's something I always appreciate about movies. The acting was good, and the story was just bizarrely intriguing. Good one, check it out!
