Superhero Movie (2008) 7/10

Starring : Drake Bell, Sara Paxton, Christopher McDonald, Leslie Nielsen, Kevin Hart
Director : Craig Mazin
Running Time : 82 mins

High school student Rick Riker (Bell) is bitten by a radioactive dragonfly and develops super human powers, deciding to become the superhero known as Dragonfly, but he soon discovers that multi millionaire businessman Lou Landers (McDonald) has also developed super powers that could make him live for ever at the expense of half the population!

Although this is basically Spider-Man with bum jokes, there is at least evidence that the makers have seen the movie they’re spoofing. Unlike such offerings as Epic Movie, Date Movie, and the upcoming Disaster Movie, this movie has some substance and a plotline of sorts. Worth checking out if you like the old Naked Gun movies, despite not being quite as good.
