A thoughtful but outrageous comedy from Bobcat Goldthwait, WORLD’S GREATEST DAD is a story about a man that learns the things you want most may not be the things that make you happy, and that being lonely is not necessarily the same as being alone.
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 (Daryl Sabara) is an insufferable jackass who won’t give his father the time of day. He is dating Claire (Alexie Gilmore), 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. He is suddenly faced with the possibility of all the fame, fortune and popularity he ever dreamed of, if he can only live with the knowledge of how he got there.
I am always a sucker for Robin Williams’ movies and World’s Greatest Dad looks like another good one! The Bobcat Goldthwait movie is available on VOD, XBOX Live and Amazon starting July 24th and see it in theaters August 21st!!!
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! I hope you enjoyed your breakfasts in beds, gifted ties and handmade cards!
To my dad, thank you for being an awesome father and putting up with all my sh!t…especially when I was a teen!!!
Based on the “Crimes of Fashion” book series by Ellen Byerrum. Who knew fashion could be dangerous to anything beyond your credit card balance? Lacey Smithsonian (also seen in “Hostile Makeover”), “Crimes of Fashion” columnist, finds herself reporting on more than just this season’s line when dead bodies start showing up in her best friend’s hot DC hair salon. Lacey’s uniquely trained fashion eye catches clues that others miss. The only thing that knocks Lacey from her high-heeled stride is the sudden appearance of Vic Donovan, the guy she left behind and the one man that makes her heart flutter. With her best friends, Stella, a punky hairstylist, and Brooke, an upper crust Georgetown lawyer, at her side, Lacey foils the murderer, solves the mystery and the fashion crime itself, all while meeting the deadline for her column.
Psych’s Maggie Lawson is so likable as Lacey Smithsonian in Lifetime Movie Network’s Killer Hair, the Crimes of Fashion columnist who starts writing about crime when her friend’s co-worker is murdered. Smithsonian’s friend, Stella works as at a hair salon and when one of her co-workers is found dead with a bad haircut, Stella is the only one who thinks it is murder and not a suicide like everyone else and she asks her friend to help prove it. When another one of her co-workers die the same way the police finally take Stella seriously and Smithsonian is getting the story of her lifetime. Will she be able to solve who is killing off Stella’s co-workers and giving them bad haircuts before she gets one herself? Tune into Lifetime Movie Network at 8p tonight for a fun crime movie that is a cut above the rest!!!
Julianne Hough is dancing her way to the big screen (or straight-to-DVD) in the cheesy remake of Footloose according to the Hollywood Reporter. Two-time Dancing with the Stars champ is joining Chace Crawford in the roles that were made famous by Lori Singer and Kevin Bacon in the 1984 classic.
Now that Julianne is doing her leading role, she is officially a triple threat by being about to sing, dance and act. Although with Kenny Ortega producing and directing, I don’t have much faith in the movie. His movies give me a cavity and a stomach because they are so sweet and cheesy. Plus I don’t think the movie needs to be redone.
BTW the movie is slated to begin production in March which would mean Julianne won’t be do at least two more seasons of Dancing with the Stars.
