Much as the Lord of the Rings character Gollum was digitally mapped and reproduced via CGI, so too is Tom Hanks computer-generated here as a bald train conductor who looks like Tom Hanks.

In my favorite episode of The X-Files, a psychic played by Peter Boyle remarks, "You know, there are worse ways to go, but I can't think of a more undignified way than autoerotic asphyxiation." Leave it to comedian Bobcat Goldthwait to write and direct a humane and moving film commencing with that very indignity, and starring a sad, silvering Robin ...

Stars Patton Oswalt, Michael Rapaport. Rated R. Opens Fri., Sept. 11. At Landmark Midtown Art Cinema.

The comedian Bobcat Goldthwait has forged a fascinating career as a Hollywood auteur, joining the rarefied ranks of Tod Browning and John Waters in creating a genre that might best be described as depraved humanism. His debut film, 'Shakes the Clown,' went to dark extremes to explore most people's instinctive aversion to creepy circus clowns. In the 2006 comedy 'Sleeping Dogs Lie,' Goldthwait somehow threaded a needle between bestiality jokes and surprisingly sincere moral inquiry.

With 'World's Greatest Dad,' Goldthwait continues his enterprise, indulging in vulgar, profane and otherwise perverted humor while getting at something deeper. His sometime supporting player Robin Williams takes center stage as Lance Clayton, a high school poetry teacher who nurtures dreams of becoming a great writer while being verbally abused by his surly, chronically sweaty 15-year-old son Kyle (Daryl Sabara of 'Spy Kids' fame -- how fast they grow up!).

But it shows some real skill to take that idea and turn it into a crafty, ruefully funny movie.

Robin Williams is a sad-sack teacher and failed writer, and Alexie Gilmore is his girlfriend-who's-not-really-his-girlfriend.

Robin Williams;s career choices have bordered on flailing in recent years, as he has moved from sentimental Chris Columbus junk to somber thrillers to half-hearted broad comedy.
