WWAW Shakes The Clown?

[IGotATreeOnMyHouse85]

They added it to Amazon Prime yesterday. I know when it came out it was a huge flop since it was a dark comedy but over the years has become a cult hit. Any good? I love Bobcat’s “Worlds Greatest Dad” so want to check this out.

Thoughts? Opinions? E-Rock, Comment?

The superior dark comedy from Robin Williams

I like Bobcat, but I wasn't a fan of Shakes. It's been a long time since I've seen it, but I just don't remember thinking it was that funny. World's Greatest Dad is superior in every way.

It's more dark than it is darkly comedic, but I recommend it. Smoochy is the superior film and comedy, but Shakes watch pretty good.

Yeah I’ve always heard about it and saw it’s on so I looked it up again. Couple people pointed out how it was a dark topic at the time of an alcoholic clown yet a decade later Bad Santa was a hit being similar with a drunk child’s entertainer.

Bad Santa is much more direct and visceral, and Billy Bob is a more charismatic actor. Shakes has a much darker tone, too.
