Filed under: Comedy , Sundance You may have heard about Bobcat Goldthwait's current film, World's Greatest Dad , possibly from all the raving various people at Cinematical have done about it. It's an outrageously dark comedy -- but that should be no surprise if you've seen any of Bobcat's previous films, including Sleeping Dogs Li e , which I've chosen as AOL/SlashControl 's free flick of the day....
