This movie was absolute stuff. The plot was the overall weirdest plot in any movie Ive ever seen.

-Spoilers-

So the movie stars Robin Williams and that boy from Spy Kids. Robin Williams plays Lance Clayton, who wants to be a writer, and the boy plays Kyle, Clayton's son. The son is a total jackass and is obsessed with love. Almost every sentence he says in this movie involves something loveual. I think hes supposed to be the typical teenager or some stuff. Anyway, Lance is a teacher at his son's school and he dates the art teacher. His life sucks and his poetry class attracts only a few students. Now for the son. As I said earlier hes a jackass love-obsessed teenager. He does some weird masturbating thing where you hang yourself as your doing it, only you hang yourself horizontally so you can stop yourself from dieing. Hes not popular in school and only has one friend. The movie swings from comedy to drama to what-the-forget-is-this. A while into the movie Lance goes out to dinner with his girlfriend and comes home to find his son doing the masturbating-hanging thing. However it turns out this time his son accidentally hung himself while doing it. To protect his son from embarrassment he hangs him in the closet and writes a Self Delete letter for his son. Upon his return to school he finds out the letter has been published in the school newspaper and has influenced many students lives in a positive way, causing him to become famous at the school. Lance uses this fame as a way for his writing it be published and he writes and claims them as things like "Kyle's diary." The stories become extremely famous. At one point hes at some book talking thing for "Kyle's diary" and he admits that he wrote all the stuff and pretended Kyle wrote it, as well as admitting how his son really died. Everyones pissed at him so he runs out of the library with a smile on his face and runs to the gym where - And this part made me want to throw up - He strips naked and jumps into a pool. Thats right. You get to see Robin Williams naked...

tl;dr - The movie sucked

Sounds like the worst.

best death scene ever.

but...what does this have to do with him being the worlds greatest dad?  It's about him loving everything up.  Owait, sarcasm.

offtopic: didn't that thing with choking yourself while beating off die around the 70s?

Ive never heard of it until I saw that movie lol. I was like "Why the forget would you do that...?"

I suppose all kinds of turn-ons survive in some way, sadly. (In some ways...)

Robin Williams should NOT be that old.

That plot actually sounds loving amazing
