A mild-mannered failed-writer-come-English-teacher is devastated after his son accidentally strangles himself to death. Given that his son is the absolute personification of the term douche bag, he forges a suicide note in a desperate attempt to send his son off with dignity. However, the note bursts into popularity, with the demand for more of his dead son’s material increasing rapidly. Robin Williams places himself perfectly in the role, striking the right balance between witty humour and hostile vulnerability. The premise is uniquely dark while remaining strangely light-hearted, never outstaying its welcome. Not an instant classic, but a typical indie charmer.
