funny for a while but the satire runs its course quickly. you remember this after you finish it sadly

A good parody of superhero groups and how they would exist in real life. James Gunn obviously has quite a lot of knowledge on the superhero genre, and a good sense of humour to boot. Watch on a double bill with the excellent Special for a fantastic superhero-parodyathon.

It's the X-men meets The Real World. Written by James Gunn, who co-wrote Tromeo and Juliet with Lloyd Kaufman and wrote and directed Slither, this movie is kicks the living shit out of Mystery Men.

A day in the life of a band of rubbish superheroes. While I'll admit this probably had a budget of about 74 dollars, it's still pretty woeful and unfunny, and a bit boring, and quite predictable and pointless too. The star is for Deadly Girl who has the only decent line: "What's the difference between a child and a skeleton? The child doesn't try and eat the soft parts of your face while you're asleep". Otherwise, stick with Mystery Men for your lame superheroes movie fix.
