Pleasantly surprised by this one. Robin Williams at perhaps his most subdued, and that's a good thing in this role. Dark subject matter but it's smart and has a lot of heart.


NETFLIX SYNOPSIS
After his son (Daryl Sabara) dies in an awkward freak accident, high school poetry teacher Lance (Robin Williams) ghostwrites a suicide note to spare the family embarrassment. But when the note becomes an unexpected hit, Lance sees a chance to resurrect his writing career. In a bid for literary fame, Lance writes his son's journal and passes it off as his own. Writer-director Bob Goldthwait's comedy debuted at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
