If you loved God Bless America, try World's Greatest Dad

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, and they both carry the pitch black mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to God Bless America, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What World's Greatest Dad is

Bobcat Goldthwait directs this one? Okay. A high-school poetry teacher's life changes when his son accidentally dies. The father then covers up the death to protect his son's reputation, which probably says something about America.
