David (Troy Ruptash) is a creatively stifled painter in desperate need of inspiration. As happenstance would have it, while seeking a job waiting tables, David stumbles upon a new muse in the form of a strapping diner owner named Matt (Vince Corazza). In short order the two bond over a shared love of art, and before long their passion for painting transforms into something more torrid. If it weren't for Matt's wife, Violet (Cherilee Taylor), everything would be perfect.

03/15/2010 Better than it first seems. See more 06/14/2009 I wasn't sure what I was supposed to feel after the movie ended. In fact, I didn't really care too much about any of the characters at all. The only one I was remotely interested in was Matt, and that was partly because Vince Corazza is smokin'. If I were to watch this again, it'd probably be because I want to see Vince engage in simulated sex and not for the plot. See more 04/11/2009 Very disappointing. One big gay cliche. See more 01/03/2009 A good movie moving and some kind of off beat acting.In a round about way tells you how hard it is to express your feelings to 2 seperate people,and make them understand that you love them both and you want to be with them both.....Doesn't work. See more 01/03/2009 A very touching film that really wants me to read the script - Poor Super Man. Acting was iffy in places, but overall the movie is enjoyable. See more 07/10/2008 Love this film, it's based on the script "Poor Super Man," which I proudly produced once from Canadian playwrite Brad Fraser (host of Jawbreaker and writer for Queer As Folk's season 1 and 2).
