Adolescent fantasy meets sophomoric humor in the latest cuisinart comedy, Superhero Movie. The story of how frustrated loser Rick Riker (Drake Bell of Drake & Josh) becomes the superpowered Dragonfly is largely poking fun at Spider-Man, but there are a handful of digs at X-Men, Fantastic Four, and other Marvel Comics superhuman flicks. What's disappointing is how few of the jokes are specific to the genre--the abundance of gags about urine, feces, horniness, and especially flatulence (long, drawn-out gags about flatulence) could have been shoehorned into a parody of pretty much anything. The strong point of Superhero Movie is the above-average cast; while there are the obligatory cameos by the likes of Pamela Anderson, the cast is mostly filled out with actual actors like Marion Ross (Happy Days), Christopher McDonald (Thelma & Louise), Brent Spiner (Star Trek: The Next Generation), Jeffrey Tambor (Arrested Development), and Leslie Nielsen, who trots out his trademark deadpan one more time. As Dragonfly's love interest, Sara Paxton (Aquamarine) does a flawless and subtle imitation of Kirsten Dunst's sultry vocal mannerisms. And for fans of Airplane! (the movie that started the whole everything-but-the-kitchen-sink genre of comedy), there's an appropriate cameo by Robert Hays as Rick Riker's father. Superhero is a step above such recent tripe as Date Movie and Meet the Spartans... but sadly, that's not saying much. --Bret Fetzer

It's always weird to review a movie like this which claims to be a spoof but doesn't really creatively spoof the actual genre it mocks. This has become a big problem with the recent spate of movies in this genre and only seems to be getting worse. One thing these movies keep doing is just doing an imitation of a scene from a famous movie in the genre they're making fun of. That problem continues here and to be honest that's not good writing. It's just lazy. If these folks aren't going to spend ... Read More

For the week of Halloween 2008, I decided that there will be no horror movie marathon. This week, I will watch the various comedy films that typically feature on the front of the DVD "from the guys who brought you SCARY MOVIE and the NAKED GUN".
I pretty much know what I'm getting into with these films and know you have to have an open mind because although many scenes will have its funny moments, you can expect your share of really idiotic moments as well.
I know people ... Read More

If you're over THE DARK KNIGHT and IRON MAN, waiting for what they're going to do to SUPERMAN, and if you need good laugh? Check out SUPERHERO MOVIE. This reviewer was totally aghast by MEET THE SPARTANS (along with the other recent parody EPIC MOVIE), but SUPERHERO MOVIE fares way better. One reason SUPERHERO MOVIE works is because one of the Zucker Brothers (AIRPLANE, NAKED GUN films) is one of the producers and the legendary Leslie Nielsen is in a support role. The film is a total, and shot-per ... Read More

Sometimes it's a single word: "Plastics." Or two words: "My precious." Or "Bond. James Bond." (Is that two words, or three?) For movie lovers, some words or collections of words are magically evocative, forever associated with whatever was immortal about the films that featured them. A few days ago, four more words entered this privileged lexicon for me. My son, who will be 13 in September, wanted to see "The Superhero Movie," starring Drake Bell. My son has been a fan of Drake and Josh on TV. We rented ... Read More

There's a horrible trend nowadays of movies assuming that stringing together a clump of unrelated jabs at current events & ripping off scenes from all sorts of movies is parody. It's not. For ages it seemed that the art of satire & parody ala Naked Gun & Not Another Teen Movie was lost in a wave of stupid & incredibly unfunny movies such as Epic Movie. Then along came Super Hero Movie.
The movie follows after a mild mannered schoolboy who gets bitten by a dragonfly and gains superpowers. The ... Read More
