Although it may be too zany for adults, We Can Be Heroes balances its sophisticated themes with heart and zealous originality.

We need a baby-sitter we can trust while nursing the last of the season's hangovers. Just try and stay out of the room for the excruciatingly sunny cover of David Bowie's Heroes.

2.5/4

A sort of sequel to "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl," this film gives kids exactly what they want. Adults? Not so much.

If this movie is a set-up for a potential crossover between Rodriguez’s Spy films and Heroes films, then so be it.

Goofy, but it never defaults or cops out on that...you gotta take this for what it is, which is a lot of fun.

Incredible movie because the Heroics get captured by the Aliens and their kids must save the day and Ojo the girl who never speaks is a supreme commander alien but Missy knew this already because she gave it away with her drawing because she draws the future so Missy she knew the whole time and there parents are released and they all have really cool powers Guppy was my favourite because she could make thing with water and she had shark strength because her father is Shark boy and her mother is Lava girl action scenes . Incredible movie 9/10 the names of all the kids are Missy, Slow mo, Noodles, Wheels, Rewind and Fast forward , Guppy, Ojo, A Capella, Face maker and Wildcard.

Robert Rodriguez has always been a mixed bag of a director, on the one hand the movies he produces are usually on the less expensive side but he does write them charmingly enough — they are a good time even if they aren’t always a good film. We can be Heroes, on the other hand, is unfortunately devoid of his charm and cheesy filmmaking and is my least favorite of his films because of it.
