Magnolia picks up ‘Worlds Greatest Dad’

All I can say is its about time someone stepped up to the plate and bought the distribution rights to this film. Although one of the craziest movies I saw at ‘Sundance’ it was a very beautiful film and really makes you wonder how you would react in a similar situation.

This from The Wrap:

Bobcat Goldthwait called me yesterday with some exciting news: Magnolia Pictures has picked up his outlandish Robin Williams comedy “World’s Greatest Dad,” a delightfully raunchy and subversive work that served as my guilty pleasure earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival.

Goldthwait said that Magnolia will release the film on VOD prior to a theatrical release in late August, following a model the company employed most recently with the Joaquim Phoenix drama “Two Lovers.”

Let me tell you that this film is worth seeing, especially if you can get it VOD because I dont know how wide of a release it will see. Check out my review here and prepare yourself to be shaken up.
