Directed by Bobcat Goldthwait

Starring Tom Kenny, Geoffrey Pierson, Robin Williams, Daryl Sabara, Alexie Gilmore

Robin Williams stars as a father who fakes a suicide note for his recently deceased son in order to give him a bit of dignity rather than admit to his accidental autoerotic death in this black comedy from writer/director Bobcat Goldthwait. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide
